DISTRICT 5-6A
Clinched a playoff berth: Denton Guyer (No. 1, Div. II), Coppell (No. 1, Div. I)
Eliminated: Denton Braswell, Flower Mound, Little Elm
Notable Week 10 games: Lewisville vs. Flower Mound Marcus, Hebron vs. Flower Mound.
Week 10 scenarios: Three teams are vying for two playoff spots: Lewisville, Flower Mound Marcus and Hebron. Here are the scenarios as they would play out in the two games featuring those three teams:
