Crowley ISD parts ways with Crowley head football coach Carlos Lynn

Crowley head football coach Carlos Lynn is no longer with the program. In 2023, Lynn’s first year at Crowley, the Eagles posted a 7-4 record one season after finishing 4-7. In 2024, Crowley improved to 8-5 record but slipped in 2025 and 2026 with consecutive three win seasons. The 2026 season was especially challenging due to the 2026 UIL realignment, which placed Crowley in the District of Doom alongside state powers North Crowley, Waxahachie and Duncanville. Crowley finished 2-5 in district, defeating Dallas Skyline and Mansfield. Lynn was 21-24 at Crowley. Under his direction in 2024, Crowley made it past the area round for the first time since 1971. Before he served as the Eagles’ coach, Lynn spent six seasons at the helm with Cedar Hill, where he posted a 44-26 record. Cedar Hill went to the playoffs under Lynn four times with a trip to the area round (2019), regional semifinals (2021) and the Class 6A D2 state championship game (2020). Before his time leading Cedar Hill, he spent nine years at Arlington Seguin, where he posted a 44-50 record. He also served as an assistant coach and defensive coordinator at Cedar Hill under Joey McGuire, now the head

Texas football playoffs: Analyzing paths for Aledo, North Crowley, Carroll, more

The UIL Texas high school football playoffs are here. See analysis breaking down potential playoff paths and top storylines to watch: Can anyone challenge North Crowley? North Crowley (10-0, 7-0), ranked No. 1 in Class 6A by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football, will be a considerable favorite the entirety of the playoffs. But just because teams are expected to win, doesn’t mean it always happens. North Crowley still has to stay healthy, execute and avoid the upset against some of Texas’ top squads. In addition, a potential regional final matchup against No. 10 Longview could be in store. The state championship will likely be the toughest game for whatever team makes it out of the Region 1 and 2 side, as No. 4 Houston King (9-1) or No. 5 Ridge Point (10-0) could be waiting. A matchup against No. 2. Allen (10-0), a team in the Division I bracket that has a case for best in Texas football, won’t happen. Why Southlake Carroll could be dangerous If North Crowley comes out of Region 2, it could rematch No. 16 Southlake Carroll (8-2), a team that will likely provide a much tougher challenge than in nondistrict play, when the Dragons fell to
