     McKinney North defense in their 44-26 victory over Westmoore.      The Wranglers of West Mesquite head to McKinney on Thursday after a tough 56-28 loss to Longview last week. At halftime, the game was tied, but eventually, the Lobos pulled away to start district 1-0. West Mesquite (2-3, 0-1 District 7-5A) takes on the Bulldogs of McKinney North in an important matchup.

Senior quarterback TJ Williams powered his way into the end zone in the 3rd overtime period to propel his Vikings to victory.
