Edgewood finished at 4-6.

Caddo Mills 48, Scurry-Rosser 13

Redwine finished with 139 rushing yards with two touchdown runs, while Roberts caught three touchdown passes from Austin Brooks, who was 6-of-7 for 107 yards with no interceptions.

Aubrey 42, Leonard 22

AUBREY — The Leonard Tigers ended their season Friday night with a 42-22 loss to the Aubrey Chaparrals, who will be in playoffs next week.

Each quarter ended with Aubrey ahead. After scoring first, the Tigers just never could gain on the Chaparrals and had two touchdowns called back.
