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.

5A Football Roundup: North Mesquite, Creekview earn rivalry wins

District titles and playoff berths are at stake all throughout the area at this time of the high school football regular season, but Friday’s action also gave way to some old-fashioned city rivalry bragging rights. Creekview kept its postseason hopes alive for the final week of the season and retained its spot as the top team in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD after defeating Newman Smith on Friday, 10-8. All 18 points between the Mustangs and Trojans came in the first half, trading the lead twice over that span as Creekview senior Gavin Palacio found the end zone on the ground before Smith answered with a touchdown and a two-point conversion for an 8-7 edge. The Mustangs tacked on a field goal before halftime and kept Smith off the scoreboard over the final two quarters. The win improved Creekview to 2-3 in 6-5A Division I, good for fifth place and trailing Naaman Forest (3-2) and Birdville (3-3) heading into its regular-season finale on Friday against Naaman. North Mesquite 36, Mesquite 21 Last season saw North Mesquite capture its first playoff berth in 10 years.
