GAME OF THE WEEK:
FRISCO LEBANON TRAIL (4-0, 2-0) at 5AD2 #5 FRISCO (3-0, 1-0)
The winner of this big game in 7-5A-2 could be on its way to a district championship. Lebanon Trail has been rock solid on its way to a 4-0 start. They stayed unbeaten in district play with a 44-14 win over Lake Dallas. QB Drew Martin leads a Lebanon Trail offense that averages 37.8 points per game. Martin threw for a TD and ran for a TD in the win over Lake Dallas. RB Gregory Hatley ran for 107 yards and two scores last week. State-ranked Frisco comes off a bye. In their three wins this season (over Frisco Independence, Frisco Reedy and Lake Dallas), the Raccoons have allowed just 5.7 points per game. If Frisco can overcome the challenge from Lebanon Trail, they face powerful Frisco Liberty next week.
3-6A
HURST L.D. BELL (0-3, 0-1) at EULESS TRINITY (2-1, 1-0) - THURSDAY
This Mid-Cities rivalry game has been rather lopsided in recent years. L.D. Bell is still seeking its first win of the year after last week's 24-0 loss to Weatherford in the district opener. QB Alec Esquivel ran for 60 yards. The vaunted Euless Trinity rushing attack was on full display last week, as the Trojans beat Saginaw Boswell, 63-0. Trinity piled up a total of 377 yards on the ground, with RB Gary Maddox running for 89 and two TD.
FORT WORTH PASCHAL (1-3, 0-1) at FORT WORTH CHISHOLM TRAIL (1-3, 0-1)
Paschal fell to North Crowley in its district opener, 33-14. WR William Marshall had three receptions for 143 yards and a TD. Chisholm Trail lost to Haltom last week, 31-7. RB Israel Kalsoso ran for 72 yards and a score.

Weatherford RB Dez Forrest ran for two touchdowns.
SAGINAW BOSWELL (0-3, 0-1) at NORTH CROWLEY (2-1, 1-0)
Boswell's Pioneers look to turn their fortunes around after a 63-0 loss to Euless Trinity. Boswell was held to 118 total yards last week. North Crowley looked like a solid playoff contender in their 33-14 win over FW Paschal. RB DeJuan Lacy ran for 129 yards and two TD.
4-6A
6A #24 SOUTHLAKE CARROLL (1-1, 0-0) at TROPHY CLUB BYRON NELSON (2-2, 0-0) - THURSDAY
DISTICT OPENER
Carroll had a week off to tweak things after the 44-42 loss to Rockwall on Oct. 8. The Dragons are the district favorite and hope to make a deep playoff run again this season. Byron Nelson was hampered by problems in the kicking game in last week's 14-7 overtime loss to McKinney Boyd. RB Michael Giordano (97 yards rushing last week) has been solid all year for Byron Nelson.
KELLER CENTRAL (1-2, 0-0) at KELLER (1-2, 0-0)
DISTRICT OPENER
Keller Central was off last week and comes into district play on a two-game losing streak. Keller lost a 34-32 shootout to Dallas Skyline last week. The Indians led that game 25-6 early in the third period. Keller QB Hayden Anderson can light it up. He threw for 309 yards and three TD last week.
NORTHWEST EATON (2-2, 0-0) at KELLER FOSSIL RIDGE (1-1, 0-0) - THURSDAY

McKINNEY (3-1, 0-0) at 6A #9 DENTON GUYER (2-1, 0-0)

LEWISVILLE (2-1, 0-0) at PLANO WEST (2-1, 0-0)
DISTRICT OPENER
Both teams were off last week. After matching its overall victory total from 2016-2019 (two wins), Plano West is out to make noise and contend for a playoff spot in 6-6A. The Fighting Farmers should be right in the mix for a postseason berth.
HEBRON (1-1, 0-0) at PLANO EAST (0-3, 0-0)
DISTRICT OPENER

7-6A
RICHARDSON PEARCE (0-3, 0-0) at DALLAS JESUIT (1-2, 0-0)

8-6A
GRAND PRAIRIE (3-0, 1-0) at ARLINGTON (2-2, 0-1)
In a district filled with outstanding quarterbacks, Grand Prairie's Michael Stallworth is making a bid for all-district honors. The junior last week threw for 191 yards, ran for 141 and accounted for four TD in the Gophers' 47-19 win over Arlington Sam Houston. The GP defense has been stout in the early going, allowing 15.7 points per game. Arlington looks to bounce back from a 52-21 loss to Martin in the district opener. After taking a 21-7 lead in the first period, the Colts saw Arlington Martin score 45 unanswered points and pull away for the victory. Arlington K Cooper Hicks ran for a 24-yard TD on a fake field goal last week.
ARLINGTON BOWIE (3-0, 1-0) at ARLINGTON LAMAR (1-2, 0-0)
Bowie opened district play with a 28-14 win over South Grand Prairie. QB Drevonn Ponder had 248 total yards, ran for two scores and threw for a TD.

6A #18 ARLINGTON MARTIN (3-1, 1-0) at SOUTH GRAND PRAIRIE (2-1, 0-1)
After the loss to Temple in the season opener, Martin has won three straight. After trailing Arlington early last week, the Warriors scored 45 unanswered points in a 52-21 win. Martin QB Zach Mundell ran for two scores and added a TD pass. SGP hopes to avoid an 0-2 start in district play. They fell to 3-0 Arlington Bowie last week, 28-14. QB Kendall Johnson threw for 151 yards in the loss.
ARLINGTON SAM HOUSTON (2-2, 0-1) is OFF this week.
9-6A
GARLAND (3-0, 2-0) at SACHSE (1-1, 1-0) - THURSDAY
Hopes are high that QB Cergio Perez is leading the unbeaten Garland Owls back to glory. Perez hit WR Jordan Hudson with a nine-yard TD pass with :07 left last week to give Garland a 14-7 win over Garland Naaman Forest. Sachse opened district play with a 41-7 win over North Garland. QB Alex Orji ran for 116 yards and three touchdowns.
GARLAND LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL (2-0, 1-0) at GARLAND NAAMAN FOREST (1-2, 1-1)
Lakeview Centennial rolled to a 49-19 win over South Garland. RB Zechariah Dunston ran for 200 yards and four scores. Lakeview Centennial's defense has been stingy, allowing just 13.0 points per game. Naaman Forest dropped a 14-7 decision to Garland High. RB Kingsley Bennett ran for 70 yards. Naaman Forest is allowing just 16.7 points per game, so this could be another low-scoring contest.
NORTH GARLAND (1-2, 0-2) at ROWLETT (0-0, 0-0)
North Garland looks to rebound from last week's 41-7 loss to Sachse. QB Nathan Pena threw for 127 yards and a score, but North Garland was held to minus-six yards rushing on the night. This is the season opener and district opener for Rowlett.
WYLIE (0-2, 0-0) at SOUTH GARLAND (0-3, 0-2)
Wylie is among the schools hit hard by COVID-19 issues. This district opener will be their first on-field action since Oct. 2. South Garland is also seeking its first win of the season. They lost to 2-0 Garland Lakeview Centennial last week, 49-19. QB Jalil Brown threw for 229 yards and a TD, and added a TD run. South Garland is allowing 47.7 points per game this season.
10-6A
MESQUITE (0-3, 0-0) at DALLAS SKYLINE (1-1, 0-0)
DISTRICT OPENER
The Skeeters hope district play brings a change in their fortunes. Mesquite's last two losses (South Grand Prairie and Grand Prairie) have come by a total of six points. Skyline came from 19 down last week to beat Keller, 34-32. WR Quaydarius Davis had six receptions for 123 yards and three touchdowns.
NORTH MESQUITE (1-3, 0-0) at MESQUITE HORN (2-2, 0-0)
DISTRICT OPENER
North Mesquite comes in off a 22-6 loss to Richardson. WR Cordale Russell caught a 29-yard TD pass last week. Horn evened its record with a 41-27 win over 5A Tyler. Jags QB Darrius White threw for 281 yards and four touchdowns on only nine completions.
ROCKWALL-HEATH (3-1, 0-0) at 6A #23 ROCKWALL (3-1, 0-0)
DISTRICT OPENER
This has a very good chance of being the area's highest-scoring game of the week. After last week's 56-14 win over 5A McKinney North, Rockwall-Heath is averaging 53.3 points per game. R-H rolled up 612 total yards last week, as QB Josh Hoover threw for 227 yards and a TD. RBs Zach Evans and Preston Landis each scored twice on the ground. Rockwall High's high-flying offense ground to a halt last week in a 46-18 loss to 5A Highland Park. Jr. QB Braedyn Locke was held to 154 yards passing with one TD and one interception. Expect Rockwall to bounce right back this week. They are still averaging 45.2 points per game. The battle of quarterbacks between Hoover and Locke promises to be very entertaining.
TYLER LEGACY (2-2, 0-0) is OFF this week
11-6A
NOTE: Officials in District 11-6A have decided to go with a zone format, meaning the district will be split in half, with each team playing three opponents in a round robin format. After that, the teams in 11-6A will be seeded to compete in a playoff-type setup to ultimately determine the district champ and postseason seeding.
MANSFIELD LAKE RIDGE (0-3, 0-0) at 6A #10 CEDAR HILL (2-0, 0-0)
DISTRICT OPENER
Lake Ridge was off last week, and their district schedule is front-loaded, as they open with Cedar Hill and will host DeSoto next week. Cedar Hill added a game to warm up for district play, and the Longhorns held off 5A Aledo, 27-17. QB Kaidon Salter had 369 total yards and threw for three TD.
WAXAHACHIE (1-2, 0-0) at 6A #6 DeSOTO (2-0, 0-0)
DISTRICT OPENER
Waxahachie faces a situation very similar to that of Mansfield Lake Ridge. The Indians open 11-6A play at DeSoto and host Cedar Hill next week. Waxahachie is off a bye week. DeSoto opted to stay busy ahead of district play. The Eagles beat Cedar Hill Trinity Christian last week, 62-29. DeSoto scored 41 unanswered points after going down 10-0 in that game. DeSoto QB Samari Collier threw for 265 yards, ran for 148 and accounted for five touchdowns last week.
6A #2 DUNCANVILLE (1-1, 0-0) at WACO (1-1, 0-0)
DISTRICT OPENER
How do you pick a favorite in the "District of Doom," with two-time 6A state finalist Duncanville getting thrown into the fray with Cedar Hill and DeSoto? It will be fun to watch this unfold. Duncanville was off last week after the 44-14 loss to USA Today Super 25 No. 1 IMG Academy two weeks ago. Waco High will be playing its first game in three weeks.
HEWITT MIDWAY (0-2, 0-0) at MANSFIELD (1-2, 0-0)
DISTRICT OPENER
Hewitt Midway has a lot of trophies in their case, but they've also been handed a monumental challenge this season in 11-6A. After early losses to 4-0 Austin Westlake and South Grand Prairie, Midway hopes to kick off district play on a positive note. Mansfield was off last week.

COLLEYVILLE HERITAGE (1-0, 0-0) at RICHLAND (3-0, 0-0)
DISTRICT OPENER
This will be the first game in nearly a month for Colleyville Heritage, which has been hit by COVID-related issues. Heritage opened the season with a 48-24 win over rival Grapevine back on Sept. 25. Richland enters district play off a bye. They were dominant against three 6A opponents in non-district, winning all three games and averaging 44.5 points per game. In one of the state's tougher 5A districts, Richland's Royals look like a certain contender for the title.
RED OAK (0-1, 0-0) at MANSFIELD LEGACY (1-1, 0-0)
DISTRICT OPENER
The district opener will be only the second game of the season for Red Oak, which has been off the last three weeks after losing to Ennis in the opener on Sept. 25, 52-21. Mansfield Legacy also hopes to avoid rust going into this one, as they have been idle the past two weeks.
MANSFIELD SUMMIT (1-1, 0-0) at 5AD2 #1 ENNIS (2-0)
NON-DISTRICT GAME

Ryan, the state's No. 1 ranked team in 5AD1, looked dominant last Saturday against Denton. In that 41-0 victory, Ryan allowed just 26 total yards. They also recorded 17 tackles for loss and five sacks in the game. This is a big-time measuring stick game for Wakeland's Wolverines, who have been very impressive so far this season. In last week's 45-13 win over The Colony, Johnny Kousa intercepted three passes, and RB Jared White ran for 138 yards and two TD. Now Wakeland will learn how they stack up against one of the top teams in Texas.

This will be the district opener for Independence after last week's scheduled game with Frisco Lone Star was canceled and ruled a no-contest. Frisco Reedy beat Frisco Heritage last week, 55-21. The district forfeit victory Reedy was originally awarded over Denton Ryan due to COVID-related issues has been changed to a no-contest. The game will not count in the district standings.

5AD1 #3 LANCASTER (2-0, 2-0) at DALLAS BRYAN ADAMS (0-2, 0-1)

WEST MESQUITE (0-4, 0-0) at 5AD1 #7 LONGVIEW (3-1, 0-0)
DISTRICT OPENER
West Mesquite, which lost a 27-7 decision to Keller Timber Creek last week, draws a tough assignment to open district play. After stumbling in a loss to Temple in the season opener, Longview is rolling. The Lobos routed 6A Beaumont West Brook last week, 51-28, for their third consecutive win. Longview RB Kaden Meredith ran for 243 yards and a TD, and also recorded his first career TD reception.
TYLER (0-3, 0-0) at McKINNEY NORTH (0-3, 0-0)

DALLAS HILLCREST (1-2, 0-1) at MESQUITE POTEET (2-2, 1-0)

Lake Dallas lost to 4-0 Frisco Lebanon Trail, 44-14. Lake Dallas allowed 297 rushing yards last week, and stopping Luster and the Liberty offensive attack will be a challenge this week.
