North Crowley Hangs 72, Wylie East Reportedly Tops Sachse, and Tonight Southlake Carroll and Aledo Take the Stage

RF Sports Radio branded title card: DFW high school football Week 10, Thursday results and Friday night games at 7 p.m.

By Coach Terrence Booker, RF Sports Radio DFW high school voice

Friday night in North Texas, coaches and fans. Week 10 started on Thursday, and two games already shook up the district picture before tonight's full slate kicks off.

The facts

No. 1 North Crowley beat Mansfield 72-10 on Thursday at Newsom Stadium to clinch at least a share of the District 11-6A title, its fifth straight district crown, per the Star-Telegram. The Panthers (9-0) led 30-0 at halftime. Quarterback Jacob Torres went 14-of-15 for 268 yards and two touchdowns, and four-star receiver Damarion Mays caught nine passes for 219 yards. North Crowley has outscored opponents 454-139 and is likely headed for the Class 6A Division II bracket, the paper reported. Coach DeMarcus Harris said: "It feels real good to go into the district of doom and win district."

In the game we previewed Thursday, MaxPreps lists a 21-16 Wylie East win over Sachse, with both teams now 8-1. That result was reported to MaxPreps by a user, so treat the details as unofficial until the schools confirm.

Tonight's 7 p.m. slate, per the Star-Telegram's Week 10 picks: Keller Timber Creek meets Southlake Carroll at Dragon Stadium, Aledo plays Arlington Sam Houston at Choctaw Stadium, Arlington visits Arlington Martin, and FW Wyatt meets FW Arlington Heights at Farrington Field. Both Star-Telegram pickers took Carroll, Aledo and Martin, and they split on Wyatt-Arlington Heights and on Arlington Bowie-Weatherford. On the Dallas side, unbeaten Allen visits McKinney Boyd, per MaxPreps.

RF Sports Radio's take (opinion)

My take: North Crowley is not just winning, it is embarrassing the idea that its schedule was a test. A 30-0 halftime lead in the district of doom, with starters on the bench for the second half? That team is playing for December, and everybody in 6A knows it.

The Wylie East-Sachse result, if it holds, is the upset of the week. Two 8-1 teams with a five-point margin is exactly the kind of game that changes playoff seeding.

Tonight, I want my eyes on Wyatt and Arlington Heights. When the experts split, the kids decide it. And give me Carroll's defense against Timber Creek's best punch, because Carroll in November is a different animal.

And a word for the folks in the stands tonight. This is the last stretch of the regular season for a lot of seniors. Get there early, cheer the band and the kids on both sidelines, and remember that for most of these players, Friday night is the biggest stage they will ever have. That matters more than any ranking.

What to watch next

Watch whether Duncanville and Waxahachie win tonight, which the Star-Telegram said could lock North Crowley into Division II. For Thursday's preview, read our Oct. 29 Sachse-Wylie East preview, and find every Friday night story on our DFW High School Football page.

Radio question: is anyone in DFW beating North Crowley this year, or is the only question which bracket it wins?

NBA: 2013-14 Western Conference Preview

I think they bring out buried feelings of joy and happiness in people that don’t often get to see the light of day anymore. Folks are happier, kids are giddier, and teens are pressing their folks for gifts, even on Mother’s and Father’s Day. But my favorite holiday of them all is Halloween. And it has absolutely nothing to do with costumes and or candy but rather the date on the calendar it represents. October 31st signifies the start of the basketball regular season! Either your team has one game under it's belt, or is preparing for game one or is glorifying a local television broadcast with fun Halloween graphics heading into and out of commercials. The 2013-2014 NBA season kicks off two days in advance of trick-or-treating with national broadcasts coming on October 29th put October in the rearview and gear up for the season ahead.

Penn State should forfeit the rest of the season; Morally right thing to do

-

The Penn State Board of Trustees last night decided to fire both Coach Joe Paterno and President Graham Spanier as the first steps to righting an unbelievable wrong. Board vice chair Joe Surma stated,  "The University is much larger than its athletic teams." The press conference to announce the firing of Paterno continually referenced how Penn State will make decisions from a moral perspective. After all, Penn State is supposed to be the morally right institution graduating over 80% of its student athletes. If you truly want to do what is morally right then you forfeit the rest of the season and bowl season.  For the last decade the athletic department and school officials knowingly allowed a pedophile to use its facilities as his own devil's playground. For an entire decade Penn State put its football program ahead of the 40 to 100 innocent children that were abused by Jerry Sandusky, who had an office on campus. To knowingly put sexual abuse over college football tra...
