Week 10 delivered an upset, an overtime rivalry win and several playoff-shaping performances across the Metroplex. Wylie East beat unbeaten Sachse to claim its district title, while Argyle got quarterback Hayes Hackney back and secured its own title. Anna stayed perfect with an overtime win over Celina, Melissa clinched a playoff berth, and Keller Central set a school scoring record.

By the Numbers
  • Wylie East beat Sachse 21-16, handing the Mustangs their first loss and earning the Raiders their second straight district title.
  • Hayes Hackney threw for 305 yards and 4 touchdowns, then added a rushing score in Argyle’s 66-7 win.
  • Anna’s Juelz Carter ran for 289 yards and 3 touchdowns in a 35-28 overtime victory over Celina.
  • Keller Central scored a school-record 80 points in its 80-49 win over Keller; quarterback Isaiah Taylor threw for 410 yards and 6 touchdowns.
Yes, But

Several teams still have unfinished business: Wylie East, Argyle and Keller Central close the regular season this week. Melissa is expected to earn the No. 2 seed, but that depends on beating winless Frisco Liberty. Keller Central is tied for second with Haslet V.R. Eaton, which holds the head-to-head tiebreaker.

State of Play
  • Anna is 9-0 overall and 7-0 in district; Celina has secured a playoff spot despite its second loss of the season.
  • Melissa has won five straight and clinched a playoff berth in its first season in 5A Division I.
  • Hurst L.D. Bell also clinched a playoff berth, its first in 6A; the program’s previous playoff appearance was in 2013.
  • Lewisville quarterback Laykon Brassfield set a school record with 8 passing touchdowns against Denton Braswell.
What's Next

The regular season ends this week, with district positioning still at stake for some teams. Argyle and Wylie East enter their finales with district titles secured, while Melissa and Keller Central have opportunities to strengthen their playoff seeds.

Bottom Line

Week 10 clarified the playoff picture and showed how quickly momentum can shift: a key return, a rivalry win or a record-setting night can change the outlook just before the postseason.
