The 2026 A-Rated Schools in Garland ISD

RICHARDSON – There are 48 minutes in a high school football game. Coppell junior quarterback Carter Zingelmann needed considerably less to make school history.

6A Football Roundup: McKinney, Plano shake up playoff races with upset wins

The McKinney football team may be outside the postseason picture in District 6-6A, but that didn’t stop the Lions from authoring one of the better wins of their 2026 campaign on Friday. McKinney denied a two-point conversion with 16 seconds left in the fourth quarter and hung on for a 35-34 road win over playoff hopeful Jesuit. The Lions trailed just 14-7 at halftime before making their move with back-to-back touchdown drives in the third quarter – both of which ended on runs of 20 and 22 yards by junior TJ Corbett for the team’s first lead of the night, 21-14. McKinney caught fire, scoring touchdowns on each of its four second-half drives to force the Rangers into playing catch-up. Corbett found the end zone on each series as part of a mammoth 30-carry, 229-yard, five-touchdown performance by the running back. The Lions improved to 3-6 overall and 2-4 in district play while dropping Jesuit to 3-3. The Rangers are tied for fourth place with Prosper Rock Hill, and those two will fittingly square off at 7 p.m. Thursday at Children’s Health Stadium with the winner securing the final playoff spot in 6-6A.
