5A Playoff Football Roundup: McKinney North, Reedy, West Mesquite among area teams ousted in bi-district round
The margin for error is slim when it comes to taking on Highland Park, especially in the confines of a home stadium where it rarely loses, and early miscues plagued the McKinney North football team on Friday. The Bulldogs lost fumbles on two of their first three possessions, both of which resulted in touchdowns by the Scots, and North was unable to catch up in a 42-17 loss in the bi-district round of the Class 5A Division I playoffs. The Bulldogs were able to force a Highland Park punt on their opening defensive series, but the Scots found the end zone on their next four offensive trips to build a 28-10 lead by halftime. North held Scots quarterback Buck Randall to just 50% passing on 12-of-24 attempts, but those completions led to a number of sizable gains with 274 yards through the air. The Bulldogs totaled 351 yards in the loss, including 241 on the ground. Senior John Richardson found the end zone twice, while freshman Kingston Norwood logged 84 rushing yards as the team finished out its 2026 campaign at 7-4 overall.

The Eagles played all the greatest hits from their unblemished regular season, from finding the end zone on each of their six first-half possessions to generating multiple non-offensive touchdowns to fuel a 73-0 rout of Hebron in the 6A Division I bi-district round from Eagle Stadium. “The coaches do such a great job of preparing them, and these kids have been so consistent going all the way back to January with the way they work,” said Lee Wiginton, Allen head coach. “Even going back to boot camp, there was never a time when they accomplished something and took a step back.
