After last week's 56-29 win over Garland Naaman Forest, Garland has posted at least 48 points in every game this season. QB Cergio Perez is making a bid for all-state consideration.

MESQUITE (3-2, 1-0) at 6A #15 ROCKWALL (3-2, 0-1) - 7:30 p.m. Friday
These two teams are moving in opposite directions. Mesquite has won three straight. They opened district play with a 16-6 win over Skyline. Skeeters WR Jamarion Woods had two TD receptions.

The Cardinals routed Paris last week, 47-10, and are averaging 51.7 ppg in their current three-game win streak. Melissa QB Sam Fennegan threw for 337 yards and 3 TDs last week.
