The 2025 fall postseason is fully underway in the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League II and the AVCTL II is guaranteed to have at least one football team alive in two weeks when Class 5A teams play the semifinal round.
The AVCTL II is guaranteed to have at least one semifinal competitor because Friday night Salina Central and Goddard won their contests to set up an AVCTL II quarterfinal showdown between the two teams.

Andover Central is the only other AVCTL II football team to advance to the 2nd round of the playoffs as the Jaguars went on the road and defeated Abilene 35-7 in the Class 4A playoffs.
Andover lost 24-20 against Salina South and Newton lost 49-14 against Great Bend. Arkansas City did not qualify for the postseason in football.
The AVCTL II saw its volleyball goals dashed on Monday when no league volleyball team was able to advance out of regional play.
