Battle in ‘District of Doom’ Between Chapel Hill + No. 3 Kilgore the ETSN.fm/Dairy Queen Game of the Week

Another week, another big-time matchup in District 16-3A, a.k.a. the "District of Doom." Friday night's meeting at Kilgore's R.E. St. John Memorial Stadium between Chapel Hill and third-ranked Kilgore is the ETSN.fm/Dairy Queen Game of the Week.

A Chapel Hill (5-3, 3-1) victory would almost assuredly punch a ticket to the playoffs for the Bulldogs, who missed the postseason in 2012 after playing for back-to-back state championships in 2010 and 2011. A Kilgore (6-0, 3-0) win keeps it tied with Gilmer for the top spot in the district, preserving hope for a winner-take-all showdown between the two on the final night of regular season Nov. 8.

Chapel Hill enters the game having won consecutive games after suffering a 56-28 loss to top-ranked Gilmer on Oct. 4. Its three losses have come to Whitehouse, Carthage and Gilmer, whose combined record is 21-1. Chapel Hill is led by quarterback Andrew Black, who has totaled 2,159 yards offense and 26 touchdowns.

Kilgore, coming off a 24-6 win at Gladewater last week, has used a physical running game and a suffocating defense for its undefeated start to the season. Kilgore has limited opponents to just 9.8 points per game.
