Cheney over Andale 36-30 in OT to end the streak, Hays over Liberal 48-41 in double OT to hand Liberal their first loss, Lawrence over Free State 31-24 in OT to hand Free State their first loss, Frontenac over Parsons 10-8 with a GW FG to give the Vikings their first loss, Olathe East knocks off undefeated and top-ranked Gardner-Edgerton 21-7, and Sterling needs two overtimes to beat Hutch-Trinity 13-7.
