11-5A FOOTBALL STANDINGS
Quick look: Garland took control of the race for the district championship on Friday with a 34-25 victory over South Garland.
The Owls, who limped into 11-5A play without a win, remains undefeated at 4-0 and wraps up a playoff berth. As the school with the largest enrollment in the district, Garland will be in Division I, but seeding is still yet to be determined.
South Garland falls to 4-1 but has also assured itself of a postseason berth and will be headed to the Division II bracket.
Rowlett made a huge leap back into the fray as its 37-7 victory over Naaman Forest not only allowed them to snap a five-game losing streak, but also move back to within a game of third place.
The Rangers had been a surprise in making a charge into third place, but they now fall back into a tie for fourth with Sachse, which was idle.
Lakeview did what it had to by thumping winless North Garland to move to 2-3 and in fifth place.
There are some huge games left, starting with this week. The Mustangs play South Garland on Thursday at Williams Stadium, while the Rangers face Garland on Friday at Williams Stadium.
If the two district leaders win and Rowlett takes care of business against North Garland, there would be a four-way tie for third place heading into the final week of the season.
Under that scenario, there would essentially be two playoff games in the final week of the regular season, as Rowlett meets Lakeview and Sachse takes on Naaman Forest.
However, if the Mustangs or Rangers are able to win this week, it changes the dynamic of the final week.
