The featured standouts of the 2026–27 North Crowley Panthers football team.
North Crowley offered its own statement, shutting out Aledo, 26-0, in the Bearcats’ first game since moving up to 6A. Southlake Carroll, meanwhile, survived an Oklahoma heavyweight in Jenks, 34-33, setting up one of Week 2’s most intriguing matchups when the Dragons travel to North Crowley.
Elsewhere, Waxahachie wasted little time making noise, blasting Ennis, 72-14, in the latest edition of the Battle for 287. Guyer, Coppell and Prosper also opened with convincing wins, while Lone Star, Celina, Melissa, Ryan and Anna showed why the 5A picture could be every bit as competitive.
Not every contender got the start it wanted. South Oak Cliff and DeSoto both suffered difficult losses, along with Duncanville, while Argyle and Highland Park also fell in close or high-scoring affairs. But one week rarely defines a season. If Week 1 was about finding answers, Week 2 is where some of those answers get tested.
