JACKSONVILLE —
Post season activities will get under Friday night for both the Brook Hill Guard and the Alto Yellowjackets.
Brook Hill (6-4) will make a 440 mile (one-way) trip out to Midland for its TAPPS, Division II opening round game against Midland Christian (9-1).
Both units won state championships a year ago — the Guard the Division III crown while the Mustangs captured the Division II title.

MIDLAND —The Guard enter the post season fresh off a 66-44 win over Carrollton Prince of Peace last week.

He passed for 131 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 159 yards and three scores.

Midland Christian has beat its foes by an average score of 41-14 this year.
The game will be played at Mustang Field (1,500 capacity) in Midland.
Alto vs. Harleton
NEW LONDON — The Yellowjackets closed the regular season with a 45-20 win over Shelbyville last week.
At the same time the Wildcats dropped a 34-22 decision to No. 5-ranked Joaquin.
The Yellowjackets of head coach Keith Gardner are ranked No. 13 in this week's Class a poll — Harleton is not ranked.
The winner of the Class A, Division I, Region III affair will move on to face Hull Daisetta, who has a bye this week, in an Area contest next week.
