North Crowley (4-1, 2-0) at Euless Trinity (4-1, 2-0): District 3-6A is in full swing as both teams come into this one undefeated in district play in a matchup that most expect will decide the district title. North Crowley comes off a bye, but in their last game they defeated Saginaw Boswell 33-6. Quarterback Quinton Jackson threw 16 of 28 for 221 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Dejuan Lacy had 21 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown, but caught three receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Malik Moore caught four receptions for 108 yards. Euless Trinity also comes off a bye as they rumbled past rival L.D. Bell in their last game, winning 48-0. DCTF four-star running back Ollie Gordan was the star as he ran for 246 yards and five touchdowns on 18 carries. The Trinity defense did a lot of work as they held Bell to only 103 yards. The defense also forced two turnovers against the Raiders, both of them being interceptions. North Crowley will need to be able to use their passing attack to stretch the Trojan defense, but slowing down Trinity’s offense will need to be key if they want a chance in this game, so the Panthers defensive line will need to play out of their minds against that massive Trinity offensive line. DCTF Intern Joshua Price’s Pick: Euless Trinity by 14
Rockwall (4-2, 1-1) at Tyler Legacy (4-1, 1-0): It’s been an up and down month or so for Rockwall, after flying high in Week 3 and drilling Lake Travis at home, the ‘Jackets were blown out on the road against Highland Park, they lost an OT thriller to arch rival Rockwall-Heath and last week they barely escaped an upset bid in a 25-22 win over Mesquite. QB Braedyn Locke threw a six-yard touchdown pass to Brennan Ray with under a minute remaining to foil the Skeeters upset bid. Rockwall will need to be sharp this week as they face a tough road trip in East Texas against a Tyler Legacy squad that drilled Dallas Skyline 42-7. Texas commit RB Jamarion Miller ran for 220 yards and a pair of touchdowns and he added 36 receiving yards and a touchdown as well. Texas Tech commit RB Bryson Donnell added in 99 yards rushing and two touchdowns as well for the Red Raiders. If Legacy can get the running game going and keep that explosive Rockwall attack off the field they have a chance to pull the upset, but if Rockwall’s defense can win first down and put Tyler Legacy into passing downs, they’ll be able to get them off the field and exploit a Tyler Legacy defense that is shaky at best. Stepp’s Pick: Rockwall by 10
