A month in, two teams are still alive.

The fourth-place team missed a district championship by 19 points.

Even though most coaches, players and fans their district is the toughest in the state, District 17-4A has the facts to back up the talk.

Both Kilgore and Marshall's playoffs continue. Marshall faces Boerne in the Class 4A, Division I Semifinals, while Kilgore takes on La Marque in the Class 4A, Division II Quarterfinals.
