12-5A FOOTBALL STANDINGS
Quick look: The 12-5A playoff race continued to take shape last week, but there is still plenty to be determined in the final week of the regular season.
There are a couple of things for certain.
Mesquite crushed Rockwall in a 55-24 win last week to complete a perfect 10-0 regular season. The Skeeters, who have a bye this week, will be the top seed in the Class 5A Division I playoffs and will face either Sachse, Rowlett or Naaman Forest in the bi-district round of the playoffs in two weeks.
The Jaguars will see a familiar face in the opening round as they will draw 11-5A champion Garland, a team they defeated 42-0 earlier this year.
As for the Division II bracket, that chapter is still yet to be written.
Longview is 3-2 and has a one-game lead over both Rockwall and Rockwall-Heath, who stand at 2-3. The Lobos and Yellow Jackets are set to meet on Friday at Lobo Stadium.
Longview's path to the top seed in the Division II bracket is simple-win.
If the Lobos defeat Rockwall, Rockwall-Heath will claim the final playoff berth and be the No. 2 seed in Division II where they would face South Garland in the opening round. This would be the case regardless of the Hawks' outcome against winless Tyler Lee as they have the head-to-head tiebreaker against the Yellow Jackets.
The same applies if both Rockwall and Rockwall-Heath lose and North Mesquite upsets Horn to force a three-way tie for fourth. The Stallions would be eliminated because of losses to the other two teams, and the Hawks would have the head-to-head tiebreaker with the Yellow Jackets.
Rockwall's clearest path to the final playoff spot is to defeat Longview and hope Tyler Lee pulls the upset against Rockwall-Heath.
