Exciting Matchups Ahead in Texas High School Football Week 3
As the buzz of Texas high school football continues, the city of Dallas is set to host another thrilling week as Week 3 kicks off. After an exciting second week, many teams are gearing up for their district play, and the competition is only going to heat up.
This week marks the start of the playoffs chase for several local teams, diving straight into district play. Notable district battles include the challenging **District 4-6A**, which features powerhouse Southlake Carroll, and the ominously termed **“new District of Doom” in 4-5AII**. This much-anticipated realignment has shaken things up as teams now face new district rivals for the 2024 season.
In District 4-5AII, fans will keep a close eye on **2023 4A Division I state champion Anna**, **Todd Dodge-led Lovejoy**, and strong contenders like Melissa and **Frisco Emerson**, with both teams boasting impressive records this season. Meanwhile, **District 4-6A** has added new elements with Euless Trinity and Justin Northwest moving up from Class 5A Division I, making the competition fiercer.
Last week, North Crowley surprised everyone with a stunning **57-51 win against DeSoto**, ending their impressive 23-game winning streak. Following that upset, DeSoto is now preparing for a key matchup against **Corpus Christi Miller**, a team currently holding a strong 2-0 record.
In other exciting developments, both **Duncanville** and **Rockwall-Heath** will take on notable out-of-state opponents, with Duncanville facing **St. Frances**, a highly ranked team from Maryland. Rockwall-Heath will play **Cedar Grove** from Georgia, and **Bishop Lynch** goes up against **Bishop McGuinness** from Oklahoma.
Adding to the local rivalry, **Highland Park** will continue its storied battles with rival **Jesuit**, after moving down to Class 5A Division I, but still managing to schedule a meeting this season. Highland Park is riding high with a 2-0 record while Jesuit seeks to improve after a tight win against Jesuit from New Orleans last week.
Week 3 is set to deliver even more action, as **North Crowley** looks to keep their momentum against state-ranked **Denton Guyer**, and **Southlake Carroll** begins their district play against **Trophy Club Byron Nelson**. Local favorites like Rockwall and Lewisville will also be looking for redemption after narrow losses in previous games.
The excitement in Dallas is palpable as teams hit the field, aiming to secure their place in the playoffs. Fans can expect a weekend filled with thrilling matchups and unforgettable moments as high school football season rolls on.
