12-5A FOOTBALL STANDINGS
Quick look: Mesquite and Horn once again had no problems this week and with two weeks left in the regular season, they have already punched their tickets to the playoffs.
The Skeeters have wrapped up a share of the 12-5A championship and even if they slip up and finish in a tie with the Jaguars, they will still win the seeding tiebreaker due to their head-to-head victory.
That means that Mesquite, the district's largest school, will be the top seed in the Class 5A Division I bracket.
Longview dealt North Mesquite's playoff hopes a huge blow, while at the same time boosting its own standing with a 52-3 victory on Friday. The Lobos move into a tie for third place at 2-2 with Rockwall, which was idle this week.
Those two teams hold a one-game lead over the Stallions and Rockwall-Heath, who are 1-3, and a two-game cushion over Tyler Lee, which would need to win its final two games and get a lot of help to have a slim chance.
Longview is in good position with a game on Friday against the winless Red Raiders before a season finale against the Yellow Jackets that could determine a playoff spot.
Rockwall faces a tall task this week when it hosts Mesquite, which has a bye on the final week and is looking to close out a perfect regular season.
North Mesquite and Rockwall-Heath will meet on Friday with the loser of that game all but eliminated. The Stallions will also face a tough challenge in two weeks against Horn.
While the Hawks have taken some lumps the past few weeks, they can still put themselves in good position to make the playoffs with victories over North Mesquite and Tyler Lee in the finale.
