Southlake Carroll got home field advantage, and sent two-time defending state champs Cedar Hill packing, the game sealed with a bad snap. Fellow champion Ennis lost, too, in the first round, and Euless Trinity – a team everyone expected to challenge Allen in the 6A Division I Region I final – was sent home early after a gutsy performance by South Grand Prairie. The podcast goes over the brackets, previews this week's big games (FM Marcus/Mansfield, anyone?) and interviews SGP coach Brent Whitson.

Mansfield Timberview’s coin flip sent Waxahachie packing – and kept Lancaster away from South Oak Cliff, while The Colony and Hebron put themselves in the field with wins. The podcast tackles the brackets, breaking down Region I and II brackets from 6A to 3A, plus the TAPPS playoffs as well.

Heading into the last week of the regular season, there are district titles and playoff spots on the line. We talk Week 10, where Mansfield Lake Ridge clinched its first district title in the school's short history, Plano East secured its first playoff trip since 2011 and Wylie muddied the waters in a crowded 10-5A. The podcast also interviews Mansfield's Jeff Hulme, whose program upset state-ranked Cedar Hill for the second-straight season, and we discuss Snapshot Day.

Week 9 managed to be played, between the rain showers and lightning delays. Defending state champs Cedar Hill look poised for another run at a title, sprinting past DeSoto (shockingly now with five losses). Ennis can't get its game against Lufkin in, so it's decided on a coin toss. Is it wise to put your playoff hopes on the line by chance? Mansfield Summit stymies a now-pass dependent Lancaster, and looks ahead to a Week 10 meeting with Mansfield Lake Ridge.

Euless Trinity showed its championship muscle with a win over Southlake Carroll, DeSoto picked up some steam heading into this week’s massive matchup against Cedar Hill, and Keller Central broke a 24-game district winning streak for Denton Guyer – and has us scratching our heads about 5-6A.

As district plays starts for most 6A and 5A schools, the SportsDayHS Weekly Football podcast takes stock of the area's football landscape.

Can anyone slow Allen, winners of 47 straight, including a 65-0 win over rival Plano in Week 4?
