With a district championship on the line, there was no doubt Friday night's matchup between Tivy and Canyon Lake was going to be a barn burner, and it lived up to expectations that resulted in a heartbreaking 53-50 loss for the Antlers, the first loss of the season.

The Antlers left it all out on the field in the loss, overcoming a host of challenges.

With quarterback Cohen Stehling out with an injury and the backup quarterback sidelined with the flu, Gavin Whelan stepped up in a big way for his team.
