If you caught Friday night's playoff openers, this was the surprise. No. 12 seed Maize South stunned No. 5 Salina South, 17-14, on the road in Class 5A, three weeks after losing to the same team. The Mavericks had fewer than 200 yards of offense, but their defense piled up five sacks, four takeaways and a touchdown.
