It doesn’t get any better than North Crowley against Allen

Here are five storylines to watch from this week’s UIL government finals.

Perhaps the most anticipated local regional final will take place Saturday when nationally ranked North Crowley (13-0) takes on five-time state champion Allen (13-0) at Vernon Newsom Stadium in Mansfield at 2 p.m.

North Crowley, ranked No. 9 nationally by MaxPreps, leads Dallas-area 6A teams in scoring (57.2 points per game) and total offense (541.1 yards per game). North Crowley faces the region’s best 6A defense, with Allen ranking first in scoring defense (11.3 points per game) and total defense (203.5 yards per game).

After Saturday’s 35-24 win over Coppell, North Crowley has scored 743 points and has a chance to become the ninth Dallas-area team to ever score 800 or more points in a season. North Crowley also has a chance to break the area record for most points in a season, which stands at 838 in 16 games at Kennedale in 2017.

The latest news, analysis, predictions and more for every season.

Allen’s toughest task will be slowing down three-star North Crowley wide receiver Quentin Gibson, a Colorado commit who has 78 receptions for 1,703 yards and 30 touchdowns. North Crowley quarterback Chris Jimerson Jr. has thrown 49 touchdown passes – second-most among Area 6A players – and accounted for three touchdowns in a 49-37 win over Allen in a regional final last year.

Celina hasn’t won a state championship since 2007, but still holds the Dallas record for most consecutive state championships. Celina won four straight from 1998 to 2001 and is the only local team to ever score four times.

Celina has won a total of eight state titles, tying Southlake Carroll and Mart for fourth-most in UIL history among 11-man football teams. Only Aledo (12), Carthage (nine) and Katy (nine) have won more.

Celina is three wins away from securing its ninth state title heading into the Class 4A, Division I, Region II final against Alvarado on Friday at Mustang Panther Stadium in Grapevine at 7:30 p.m. It will be a matchup of 13-0 teams, and Celina is coming off a 63-49 win over Aubrey in which junior running back Logan Gutierrez ran for 241 yards and three touchdowns and senior running back Harrison Williams ran for 182 yards and one touchdown ran. Both have surpassed 1,000 receiving yards this season and combined for 2,620 yards and 32 touchdowns.

Celina will be playing in a regional final for the sixth time in 11 years, going 3-2 in the last five years. It was a state runner-up in 2015 and a state semifinalist in 2014 and 2021.

Alvarado has had close calls the last two weeks, defeating Frisco Panther Creek 44-41 in double overtime and holding off Sulfur Springs 42-39 last week. Celina dominated both teams, defeating Panther Creek 42-7 and defeating Sulfur Springs 31-6.

5 Regional Semifinal Thoughts: South Oak Cliff gets a rematch in the state finals

Highland Park won three straight state titles from 2016-18 and entered its third-round playoff game against Frisco Lone Star in 2019 with an 11-1 record. Lone Star ended Highland Park’s dynasty and is hoping for a four-peat winning 33-27 when running back Jaden Nixon sprinted through an open hole in overtime and scored a game-winning 18-yard touchdown.

Highland Park would get revenge in 2020, beating Lone Star 30-20 in another third round playoff matchup. That was their last playoff match, but they will renew their rivalry on Friday when they meet in the Class 5A Division I Region II final at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco at 7 p.m.

Highland Park (12-1), a six-time state champion, has won nine straight and put together a remarkable season with quarterback Buck Randall, who threw for 3,090 yards and 34 touchdowns. Lone Star (12-1), trying to become the first Frisco ISD football team to ever win a state title, is coming off a miraculous 39-35 win over Midlothian in which it trailed 35-24 with 5:04 left, but A championship-winning 23-yard touchdown pass from Karece Hoyt to Oklahoma Pledge Ryder Mix and a 2-yard touchdown run from Hoyt in less than two minutes.

Lone Star junior running back/wide receiver Davian Groce, ranked as the fourth-best athlete in the country in the Class of 2026, had an 85-yard kickoff for a touchdown and a 72-yard run for another score. He finished the game with 14 carries for 151 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 48 yards.

Back-to-back Class 6A Division II state champion DeSoto extended its playoff winning streak to 15 games with a 55-35 win over Willis last week and reached its fifth straight regional final. Four-star Texas A&M commit Deondrae “Tiger” Riden Jr. ran for 254 yards and four touchdowns, and his 9-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter gave DeSoto a 48-35 lead after Willis’ 21st Scored consecutive points to make up 42-35.

Just a week earlier, Riden had passed former NFL running back Byron Hanspard as DeSoto’s all-time leading rusher. Riden has now passed for 4,288 yards in his career and has passed for 1,822 yards and 26 touchdowns this season.

DeSoto (11-2), ranked No. 24 nationally, will face Longview (11-2) in the 6A Division II Region II final on Saturday at McLane Stadium in Baylor at 3 p.m. Longview, which entered the season with the seventh-most wins in state history, is 4-0 all-time against DeSoto, with its last win coming in 2011, 23-21.

Denton Ryan will look to derail Aledo’s bid to secure its third straight state title when the teams meet in the Class 5A Division I Region I final on Saturday at Crowley ISD Multi-Purpose Stadium at 2 p.m. Denton Ryan (12-1) has a 20-4 record over the last two years, and two of the losses have come to Aledo – 25-19 in 2023 and 42-27 this year.

Denton Ryan has won eight straight since the Aledo loss, the average margin of victory was 32.1 points and the closest victory was 13 points. Denton Ryan defeated Richland 48-35 on Saturday as Quin Henigan threw two touchdown passes, Tre’Vaughn Reynolds scored two touchdowns and Ryan’s defense forced three turnovers.

Ryan held Richland to 116 yards rushing and it will take a similar performance to defeat 12-time state champion Aledo (12-1). Before the regional semifinals, Aledo was averaging 219.1 yards per game on the ground and four-star junior running back Raycine Guillory Jr. had rushed for 1,293 yards and 24 touchdowns.
