A majority of the Cowboys' starters were limited to the first half, because the team travels to No. 1-ranked Hazen at 6 p.m. Tuesday. The regular season finale determines which team wins the Region 4 title and takes home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Killdeer and Hazen are both guaranteed at least one home-playoff game.
