TODAY'S AREA GAMESCLASS 5, DISTRICT 1

Francis Howell (7-2, 1-1) at Jackson (2-7, 0-2)

Other district game: Parkway West (6-3, 1-1) at Parkway Central (9-0, 2-0)

Last week: Parkway Central 28, Francis Howell 7; Parkway West 22, Jackson 7

Last year: Jackson 36, Francis Howell 0

Notes: Jackson and Francis Howell were both eliminated from postseason contention with losses last week. A Francis Howell victory, along with a win by Parkway West over Parkway Central, would enact three-team point tie-breaker. In such a scenario, Parkway Central could still sneak into playoffs if it loses to Parkway West by three points or less. Jackson's Stuart McIntosh had 169 yards rushing last week, giving him 742 yards in the last three games and 1,169 yards on the season.CLASS 2, DISTRICT 2

Scott City (4-5, 2-0) at Charleston (4-5, 2-0)

Other district game: Grandview (2-7, 0-2) at Crystal City (2-7, 0-2)

Last week: Scott City 29, Crystal City 22 (OT); Charleston 33, Grandview 13

Last year: Charleston 44, Scott City 0

Notes: Game is winner-take-all for district championship. Charleston is seeking its third straight district title. Scott City's last title came in 1999. Charleston has won the last two meetings. Charleston running back Orrice Stanback leads area with 1,773 yards rushing on 261 carries. He's scored 18 rushing touchdowns. Scott City's win over Crystal City marked its first game all season without a fumble.

Scott City coach Jason Burkman: "They're not fancy in what they do. Stanback is definitely one of the best running backs in the area. We can't let Stanback have a huge night on us and we have to contain the other players. Our goal is force them to make long drives and hopefully force them to make turnovers."
