The featured standouts of the 2026–27 North Crowley Panthers football team.
Week 1 is the ultimate gut-check of the sports world. The questions that lingered through the offseason finally meet a scoreboard, and for several of the area’s top teams, the answers came quickly.
Allen made perhaps the loudest statement, handling Duncanville, 26-7, in a rematch of last year’s State Final Four matchup. The Eagles didn’t just open the season with a win; they answered one of the more painful exits from a year ago. They’ll get another major test Friday when DeSoto comes to town.
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.

There is so much fun to be had at a VYPE Media Days!
From team and individual pictures, social media shout-outs and video interviews, it is all there for the student-athletes to feel like a superstar.
Our team traveled to Deer Park for their 2026 Swim Media Day recently. Check out the behind-the-scenes hype video below!
The folks from Legacy Ranch, Liberty Hill ISD’s new high school, had been waiting nearly three years to play a varsity football game. Their debut was essentially over after the first 12 minutes.
The Wranglers rolled on offense and smothered Manor New Tech on defense as they raced out to a 24-0 first quarter lead. Legacy Ranch tacked on four more touchdowns in the second quarter on their way to a 59-0 wipeout of the Titans in the VYPE Central Texas Game of the Week.
The record books will show that kicker Cody Hawkins’ 26-yard field goal following a short drive accounted for the first three points in school history.
Following another 3-and-out by the Legacy Ranch defense, the Wranglers took over again on the Titan 29-yard line. Junior quarterback Will Cunningham set the table with a 17-yard run to the 5-yard line before junior Troy Ramos punched it in from 5 yards out for the first varsity touchdown in program history. From there, the rout was on.
Legacy Ranch amassed a hefty and nearly balanced 297 yards of offense on the night, paced by Cunningham (9-16, 157 yards, 3 TDs and 1 rushing TD). Four other Wranglers – Jake Bruner, Blake Deshazo, Try Ramos (2) – reached the brand-new Wrangler Stadium end zone on carries. Meanwhile, Drew Langford, Reid Robertson and Ritvik Kasireddy all hauled in Cunningham touchdown passes.
The Wrangler defense did its part as well, holding New Tech to just 57 yards of total offense and recovering a fumble to repeatedly set up the Legacy Ranch offense with a short field.
Legacy Ranch (1-0) will face a much stiffer task in Week 2 when the Wranglers travel to Kerrville to face the Tivy Antlers Friday night (9/4). New Tech (0-1) will match up with crosstown rival Manor at the Manor ISD Athletic Complex on Friday.
VYPE Live will broadcast both games.
