How it went downÂ
It was the final night of the regular season for girls’ action across the state before next week’s postseason gets into full swing. Here’s how playoff scenarios played out for Amarill-area teams.
Caprock was able to pull into a third-place tie with Plainview after holding off Palo Duro 46-38 on Tuesday. The Lady Bulldogs, who fell to Amarillo High 97-39 on Tuesday, had to forfeit a game to the Lady Longhorns last week due to playing an ineligible player setting up Caprock to finish with a 3-5 record in District 3-5A play. Caprock and Plainview will flip for the third and fourth place spots on Wednesday morning.
The Canyon Lady Eagles soared to a four-decade reign of district dominance. Thanks to a 56-15 thumping of Hereford, Canyon won the outright 4-4A championship securing its unprecedented 38th district title in the last 42 years. Pampa secured the fourth and final playoff spot out of District 4-4A thanks to a 67-31 victory over Dumas along with the Canyon 56-15 win over Hereford.
Dalhart secured second place out of District 1-3A by handling River Road 67-29. Canadian will be the No. 3-seed after beating Bushland at home on Tuesday 46-37. The Lady Falcons are the four-seed.
Stratford won the outright District 1-2A title getting a 43-25 victory against Sunray. Gruver finishes second after downing Sanford-Fritch and Sunray will be the No. 3-seed. With the Fritch loss, and West Texas High’s 44-19 win over Booker, the Lady Comanches and Lady Eagles will have a play-in game for the fourth and final postseason spot at 6 p.m. on Friday at Borger’s Middle School Gym.
Wellington was able to avenge a heartbreaking buzzer-beating loss to Clarendon in the first meeting with a 52-34 win on Tuesday. That victory put the Lady Skyrockets and Lady Broncos in a tie for the District 2-2A championship. The two teams will make a decision on the No. 1-seed on Wednesday. Quanah knocked off Wheeler 45-34 to pull into a third-place tie with the Lady Mustangs. The two teams will have a seeding game for the third and fourth place spot at 7:30 p.m. on Friday in Childress.
Boys Ranch nabbed the fourth and final playoff spot from District 3-2A with a 44-23 win at Highland Park on Tuesday along with help from Panhandle which downed Bovina 64-14.
White Deer took the third-place spot out of District 2-1A after beating Hedley 70-14 on Tuesday. Claude will be the No. 4-seed.

Hart handled Kress 72-58 on Tuesday night to take the No. 3-seed out of District 4-1A. Springlake-Earth, which slid past Lazbuddie 43-42, will be the four-seed.
