DFW, Week 7 had a rivalry blowout nobody saw coming and an overtime thriller that ended a long winning streak.

In Flower Mound, the Jaguars played maybe the most dominant game in the history of the Mound Showdown, according to Star Local Media's Matt Welch. Flower Mound beat Marcus 49-0 in front of a sold-out home crowd. It was the first shutout and the biggest margin of victory in the rivalry's 27 years. Senior quarterback Baron Sampson completed 16 of 21 passes for 335 yards and six touchdowns, with one interception. Fifteen of those completions went to two receivers. Trey Brown had 10 catches for 165 yards and three scores, and Mike Miles had 166 yards and three touchdowns on just five catches. The defense picked off Marcus five times. Flower Mound outgained Marcus 477-184 and is now 5-1 overall and 2-1 in District 5-6A.

Thursday night at Children's Health Stadium, Jesuit won 50-49 in overtime at No. 18 Prosper Walnut Grove, per Jesuit Athletics. J.P. Livingstone threw for 395 yards and five touchdowns on 23-of-30 passing. Walnut Grove scored first in overtime to go up 49-42. Livingstone answered with a 25-yard touchdown pass to George Gladstone, and Jesuit went for two and the win, hitting Hunter Helm on the conversion. Neither team led by more than seven all night, and the two combined for 1,113 yards. Joseph Konings caught seven passes for 182 yards, including a 96-yard touchdown on the play after Jesuit's fourth-down stop inside its own 5. Mack Murphy had 18 tackles and forced a fumble. The loss was Walnut Grove's first in the regular season since Oct. 14, 2024, ending an 18-game winning streak. Jesuit is 4-2 and 3-0 in District 6-6A.

More Friday finals, per Star Local Media: Prosper beat crosstown rival Rock Hill 63-12. Tyler Albert threw five touchdown passes on 13-of-17 passing, and Jackson Parker returned an interception 40 yards for a score. Coppell held off Plano 26-10. Carter Zingelmann hit Jacob Anene for a 70-yard score in the fourth quarter, and Jayden George ran for 183 yards and three touchdowns.
