The Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League II saw the opening round of the football playoffs take place this past Friday night, but the AVCTL II did not fare as well as the league would have hoped as only two AVCTL II teams advanced to this Friday’s second round.
One of those wins/defeats, however, the AVCTL II only had itself to blame as the Eisenhower Tiger football team played host to AVCTL II rival Andover High and the Tigers were able to score a 35-6 victory to extend their own season while bringing an end to Andover’s.
The Andover Central Jaguars will get the opportunity this Friday night to take out some AVCTL II revent for it’s Arkansas City fellow league mates as the Jaguars will play at Abilene, which eliminated Arkansas City this past Friday night from the Class 4A playoffs.
