Crandall heads into Friday night unbeaten in district play after another commanding victory, while Seagoville looks to recover from consecutive losses as the regular season enters its closing weeks.
The Pirates are coming off a 59–23 win over North Mesquite. The Dragons last played October 8, falling 61–14 to South Oak Cliff. Both teams travel for district games Friday, with Crandall visiting Tyler and Seagoville facing Hillcrest.
Seagoville looks to regain its September form
Seagoville enters the Hillcrest matchup at 3–4 overall and 2–3 in district competition. The defeat against South Oak Cliff extended their losing streak to two games.
Those results show how sharply Seagoville’s scoring has shifted: the Dragons produced 104 points across the Adamson and Jefferson victories, then scored 14 in each of their next two outings.
Finding more consistent offensive production will be an important part of their attempt to finish October strongly.
