Sophmore Danzel Williams rushed 177 yards and three touchdowns to lead
Arlington Martin (4-6, 4-2) to a 48-28 District 4-5A victory over
Arlington Lamar (5-5, 2-4) Friday night at Cravens Field. With Mansfield's victory over Arlington, a Lamar victory of any margin would have put the Vikings in the playoffs. Instead, Martin advances to the post-season.

Attention all Viking fans: ARMAGEDDON IS HERE! |

 The definition of Armageddon per Encarta is: “A final and decisive war or conflict.”
VIKING FANS, that is where we are right now. We must win by 10 points Friday night vs. Martin to ensure that our season will continue. A victory by that margin means Lamar would earn a playoff spot through a point differential tie-breaker between the Vikes, Warriors and Mansfield Tigers. On the other hand, if Mansfield beats Arlington High, then Lamar can get into the playoffs simply with a victory (margin won't matter).
THE VIKES, WITH YOUR HELP, ARE GOING TO WIN THIS FOOTBALL ARMAGEDDON by the necessary points and guarantee a spot in the playoffs!

Lamar (5-3, 2-2) and Mansfield (4-4, 2-2) enter Friday’s game at R.L. Anderson Stadium in a
three-way tie for the third place in District 4-5A. Neither team can
clinch an outright playoff spot with a win, but a victory would put
either team in great position to secure a postseason spot next week.
Lamar leads the all-time series 9-1, but the past two games have been
decided by a combined eight points. Friday’s contest features the top
two rushers among Class 5A area schools. Lamar’s Ja’Terian Douglas
leads 5A area rushers with 1,710 yards while Mansfield’s Stepfan Taylor
is second with 1,294 yards.
