\u2014 MISD Athletics Dept. (@MISDathletics) September 26, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n In the District of Doom, every win matters. For the Eagles, it\u2019s a promising sign that when things get tough, they\u2019ll rise to the occasion.<\/p>\n Arlington Lamar defeats Arlington<\/p>\n In a fight for District 3-6A positioning, Arlington Lamar had an edge over Arlington, taking a 41-31 victory.<\/p>\n With Arlington Martin\u2019s stunning victory over Aledo, the district title race is still semi-open, although Martin is the clear front-runner. Don\u2019t be surprised if Aledo finds a way back into contention \u2014 the Bearcats will need some help from Lamar, Arlington or Bowie.<\/p>\n Arlington Bowie is still undefeated in district, but the Volunteers have some issues to address. They took a 41-35 win over Granbury \u2014 the fact that the game was close speaks volumes. Granbury lost 69-0 to Aledo in Week 4.<\/p>\n But Bowie, the back-to-back district champion, has a knack for finding ways to win, and District 3-6A feels like a group where anyone can lose on any given night. As of now, Martin has the momentum.<\/p>\n Southlake Carroll, Keller Central, Keller seize wins<\/p>\n Southlake Carroll got back to its familiar district play blowouts with a 49-6 victory over Haslet Eaton.<\/p>\n That\u2019s a good sign for the Dragons, who played Keller Central a bit too close for comfort in Week 4. In district play for Carroll, a clear frontrunner, the main thing is making improvements week-to-week and preparing for the playoffs.<\/p>\n With Keller Central\u2019s statement 47-34 win over Byron Nelson, it seems Carroll will run away with the District 4-6A crown.<\/p>\n Even without a district title, the Chargers deserves tons of credit. Just two years ago, Central was winless in district play. Now, they are on track to compete for a top two seed. The win over Nelson, usually an area power, was a crowning achievement for head coach Eric Vance and company to continue the Fort Worth-area\u2019s most remarkable turnaround.<\/p>\n Central isn\u2019t a team anyone can take lightly anymore. And if the Chargers keep growing at this rate, they\u2019ll be a sneakily dangerous team come playoff time.<\/p>\n Keller was another District 4-6A team that recorded a huge win.<\/p>\n The Indians found a way to beat Boswell 54-53 in overtime. It was another impressive offensive showing for Keller (2-0 District 4-6A), a team that has a clear lane to the fourth playoff spot. Keller is averaging an absurd 52 points per game but may need to tighten up the defense to go toe-to-toe with Keller Central and Byron Nelson.<\/p>\n Still, it doesn\u2019t matter how many points you give up if the offense can win shootouts. And so far, Keller has proven it has what it takes to do that.<\/p>\n Chisholm Trail takes down Azle<\/p>\n Fort Worth Chisholm Trail started district play with a bang, taking down Azle, 41-26.<\/p>\n It could be a monumental win as the District 3-5A Division I playoff race takes shape, as Azle was expected to be a top three team in the group. For Chisholm Trail, its another sign of rapid growth. In 2024, the Rangers had their first winning season and made their first playoff appearance.<\/p>\n In 2025, in Marvin Nash\u2019s first season as head coach, Chisholm Trail once again made the playoffs, falling to Denton Ryan in the bi-district round. Keep an eye on the Rangers, as the next step in their ascent could, eventually, be winning the first playoff game in program history.<\/p>\n Colleyville Heritage falls to Lucas Lovejoy<\/p>\n A district title may not be in the cards for Colleyville Heritage this season, as the Panthers suffered a hardfought 38-35 overtime loss to Lucas Lovejoy.<\/p>\n The Panthers are still expected to make the playoffs, though. And, despite the loss, taking the No. 8-ranked Leopards to their limit is a very positive sign. Heritage trailed 21-10 at halftime and stormed back to make it a game.<\/p>\n The development of standout sophomore QB Lane Vargas as the Panther offense is worth keeping tabs on.<\/p>\n Arlington Seguin bounces back, Timberview wins big<\/p>\n After dropping its first four games, Arlington Seguin bounced back, claiming its first victory of the year with a 38-36 win over Joshua.<\/p>\n All of a sudden, the Cougars have playoff life, while the Owls need a few upset wins to get back into the playoff picture.<\/p>\n Mansfield TImberview is still the clear District 7-5A Division II front and made that very clear with a dominant 54-7 win over Midlothian Heritage. The Heritage Jaguars were supposed to be somewhat of a challenge for Timberview, but the Wolves proved they\u2019re on an entirely different level.<\/p>\n All Saints responds with win over Gunter<\/p>\n Fort Worth All Saints is racing toward the competition.<\/p>\n After a hardfought loss to UIL Class 5A squad Lucas Lovejoy, the Saints took another historically successful UIL squad: Class 3A power Gunter.<\/p>\n This time, the Saints cruised to a 25-9 victory. Now, the attention turns to TAPPS Division II District I rivals, as the Saints aim to make the playoffs and, ultimately, compete for their third consecutive state championship.<\/p>\n
