Allen, Frisco ISD sport state-ranked boys basketball teams to begin 2026-27 season
Nov. 13 marks the first day of non-district games for UIL boys basketball programs, officially putting the 2026-27 season in full swing. Last season saw programs like Frisco Heritage and Little Elm make history by winning the first state championships in their respective histories. Both teams graduated sizable senior classes, while other area squads look to make their own push towards hoisting a UIL title by season’s end. Several of those programs have generated some early buzz for 2026-27 as part of the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches' preseason state rankings. Class 6A 1. Allen Ranked atop 6A to begin the season, the Eagles are coming off a 24-7 campaign that produced a District 6-6A championship and an appearance in the regional finals. Allen has advanced at least three rounds deep in the playoffs each of the past three seasons, including a state semifinal run in 2025, and it’ll navigate its 2026-27 campaign with four of its top six scorers from last season back in the fold. The Eagles graduated the all-state production and leadership of guard Nehemiah Lawrence and will look players like all-region guard and senior Cadarian Urune-Williams, a Lamar commit, to help pick up that slack.

Lovejoy holds off The Colony in defensive battle
LUCAS -- Junior quarterback Nixon Slaughter accounted for 259 yards of total offense and three touchdowns to lead the Lovejoy football team to a 21-14 win over The Colony in District 3-5A Division II action at Leopard Stadium Thursday night. In a contest featuring two playoff-bound programs and several of the area’s statistical leaders on offense, it was the defense on both sides that dictated the game, with four punts and three turnovers in the first half alone. The Colony (7-3, 3-3) took a 7-0 lead after a scoreless first quarter when senior quarterback Jayden Gaines raced in from 83 yards out with 4:52 remaining in the first half. Slaughter capped a 15-play, 75-yard drive with a three-yard touchdown run to tie the score 7-7 late in the second quarter. After forcing another punt midway through the third quarter, Lovejoy (9-1, 5-1) took over near midfield. Junior Coleman Reaugh hauled in a 12-yard pass on third and long to give the Leopards a first down at The Colony’s 25-yard line. After another first down pass to Reaugh, Slaughter, the area’s seventh-leading passer, hit senior Brody Hesson for a six-yard touchdown pass with 4:41 left in the third quarter to give

Marcus erupts in fourth quarter to defeat Wakeland 35-24 in season finale
FLOWER MOUND – The Marcus football team saved its best for last on Thursday night, scoring 21 unanswered fourth-quarter points to defeat Frisco Wakeland 35-24 at Marauder Stadium and earn its first District 5-6A victory of the season. Running back Drew Emmert rushed for 184 yards and four touchdowns on 30 carries, while quarterback Cash Davis completed 20-of-24 passes for 219 yards and a touchdown as the Marauders (3-7, 1-6) snapped a six-game losing streak. Trailing 17-14 entering the fourth quarter, Marcus took the lead when Davis connected with Caleb Steen on a 37-yard touchdown pass with 5:44 remaining. The Marauders recovered an onside kick, setting up Emmert's 7-yard touchdown run with 2:51 left. Emmert added a 20-yard scoring run just over a minute later to extend the lead to 35-17. Marcus coach Mike Alexander said he knew Wakeland would be dangerous late, having watched the Wolverines win their previous two games with fourth-quarter rallies. "I told them, 'Don't be surprised in a tight game in the fourth quarter because they're not going to stop playing,'" Alexander said. With the game still in doubt, Alexander delivered a message to his offense while the defense was on the field. "I said,
