Thompson (Alabaster) needed one of the wildest finishes in recent memory to capture its second consecutive Alabama 7A title and remain No. 6 in this week's MaxPreps Top 25 high school football rankings. The Warriors scored 10 points in the final 30 seconds to shock Auburn, 29-28.

Trailing 28-19, Thompson's Ahmari Bolden returned a blocked punt to cut the lead to 28-26. The Warriors then recovered the onside kick before two consecutive pass interference calls set up Trevor Hardy's 35-yard game-winning field goal.

No. 15 Dutch Fork (Irmo) became the first South Carolina public school to win five consecutive state titles as the Silver Foxes beat T.L. Hanna (Anderson) 28-6 in the 5A championship. Clemson commit Will Taylor and Jarvis Green each rushed for a pair of touchdowns.

In the Arizona Open Division semifinals, No. 5 Chandler nearly blew a 28-7 halftime lead against Liberty (Peoria), but hung on for a 35-34 overtime victory. Eli Sanders scored four times while Oregon commit Brandon Buckner made big plays on defense to set up a championship showdown Dec. 12 against Hamilton (Chandler).

In Texas, the UIL 6A Division 1 playoffs get underway this week with seven MaxPreps Top 25 teams in the field -- No. 2 North Shore (Houston), No. 7 Duncanville, No. 11 Allen, No. 16 Westlake (Austin), No. 22 Tompkins (Katy), No. 24 DeSoto and No. 25 Lake Travis (Austin).
