District 7-5A
Melissa 6-0
Lovejoy 6-0
Denison 3-3
Crandall 3-3
Terrell 2-3
Greenville 2-4
Princeton 1-5
Poteet 0-5Melissa and Lovejoy are both (6-0) in district play and (9-0) and (8-1) respectively. They will face off on Friday in the season finale to determine the district champion.
Terrell and Poteet will face off Saturday in a game delayed due to weather. Terrell is favored and should win. That will put them at (3-3) and in a three way tie for third place in the district race.
In finale week... Denison will face Poteet, Crandall will face Princeton, and Terrell will face Greenville. All three will be favored and SHOULD finish in a three way tie for third at (4-3).
Head to head games between the three would create this tie breaker:
Denison +14
Terrell +2
Crandall -16If Denison and Terell win....they are both in; Denison as the #3 and Terrell as the #4.
Crandall is out unless Denison or Terrell slip up.
Melissa vs Lovejoy for district championship is Thursday night at Melissa. There will be some tickets available for anybody who wants to come witness what should be a great game.

Melissa is going to be well over 1600 students this year and probably pushing 1700, they ended last year with just under 1500 but they have a large incoming 8th grade of over 450 kids
I was informed by a Melissa ISD they are projecting snapshot day to be between 1650-1680 but could be higher depending on any last minute enrollees. Melissa will be 5A DII for next alignment, but there is chatter they could bypass 5A DI entirely and go straight to 6A in 2026. The massive housing boom has slowed down a bit so I’m not sure that will happen, but there are still new housing developments coming in and at least 4 large apartment complexes being built now so it’s possible.

In Melissa's new state of the art $35 Million Kenny Deel Stadium that seats 10,000. I think Melissa "might" have over 1500 students this year.....we don't know yet. You can google Melissa Football Stadium to see the photos and read about this new stadium......the article went viral. What a year for it's opening as the Cardinals are ranked #1 in 5A-DII in the DCTF Preseason Poll. Argyle comes in ranked #3, but whether they will be worthy of that lofty ranking remains to be seen. One thing is for sure......this game will be worthy of keeping an eye on.....kickoff is Friday night @ 7 pm. It could be a shoot-out, or it could get mighty ugly for Argyle......nobody knows yet. What we do know is that Melissa is absolutely loaded with talent and depth, and plenty of returning starters from last season.
The kickoff has been pushed back to 8PM due the the heat.

100% chance Anna is 5A D2 next realignment. They were already well above 4A/5A cutoff end of past school year.

Globe Life Field is the ‘new’ Rangers indoor stadium. If you are referring to the ‘old’ stadium where Melissa plays SOC that is Choctaw Stadium but was formerly Globe Life Stadium. Been to a couple games there and you are a little far from field but sight lines aren’t awful. Think the ‘visitors’ side is actually the bleachers that are in what used to be left/center field but not certain of that.

Some information on the Melissa Cardinals. Some of it may be useless info but it is info nonetheless.
The Cards have...
Have had 16 different players score TDs this year
Have scored 310 of their 451 points in the 1st half of games this year
Have only scored 57 of their 451 points in the 4th quarter of games this year
QB- Trevor Ham has 2,500+ yards passing & 35 TDs this year and has only played in the 4th quarter in 5 out of 10 games
non-district opponents have a combined 25-5 record and all qualified for the playoffs
Scored at least 13 points in 45 straight games dating back to 2019 season

Melissa is building the new stadium right beside a huge landfill that stinks to high heaven.
Then Paris High should schedule them in non-district. Between that Pig Farm Crap and Paper Mill mixture stank ever present at Wildcat Stadium they'd feel right at home

When is the new stadium suppose to be built?
It’s under construction now. The press box tower is up & seating supports going in now. ETA on completion is April. The current stadium is at Melissa Middle School and the new stadium will be at Melissa High School which also has a current ongoing massive classroom expansion.
-
If Texas HIgh has decent passing attack and has the ability to limit the running game they should win. Melissa QB had 380 yds passing & 7 TDs IN THE 1st HALF.
Terrell has a burner at RB and some good size on the lines. Seems like TH has struggled the past few weeks and if they keep playing like that this game will be close.-

Did they flip home/ home?
No. In 5A the districts champs get home field in 1st round.

I was glad to see this district thread created and hoping it would keep going but as only a handful of fans on here might be dying. I'll keep it gpoing at least one more week...
This weeks standings..
1. Denison 3-1 (1-0)
2. Lovejoy 2-2 (1-0)
3. Melissa 2-2 (1-0)
4. Mesquite Poteet 1-3 (1-0)
5. Crandall 3-1 (0-1)
6. Greenville 1-3 (0-1)
7. Princeton 1-3 (0-1)
8. Terrell 1-3 (0-1)
This weeks 9/23 (week 2 of district play) matchups...
Lovejoy at Denison
Greenville at Princeton
Mesquite Poteet at Crandall
Melissa at Terrell
My predictions for this week...
Lovejoy 42 Denison 22
Greenville 32 Princeton 24
Crandall 35 Poteet 14
Melissa 46 Terrell 19

I thought in the 1st game those Argyle RBs were good, but they are very very good. Both low center center of gravity, powerful and hit the holes quick. Think this stays close for a while then Argyle wins 41-20.
-
My predictions...
Mesq Poteet 28 Princeton 23.. closest game of the week. Loser likely has very little chance at playoff berth. Poteet wins a back and forth affair with late score
Melissa 46 Crandall 28.. Both Os can score but Melissa's D is better and if Crandall's QB really out will be very tough for Pirates to outscore Cards.
Denison 41 Greenville 14.. Denison better in trenches and wears down G-Ville
Lovejoy 50 Terrell 14.. Terrell may be better than most think. Tigers keep it close...for a half

Bishop Lynch got throttled by LD Bell last week, 65-21. I don't know much about the Blue Raiders, but that doesn't bode well for the Friar's chances this week. It is good Bishop Lynch has size in the trenches, because they'll need it. Celina is huge up front, and poor Paris stood no chance on the offensive or defensive line. Bobcats big heavies just leaned on Paris all game long and it didn't take long for the Wildcats to get worn out.
Celina's RBs looked really, really good. Troy Peterson looked completely healthy, which he never was a year ago, and he has gained some speed, a little size and a ton of strength. Paris DBs wanted no part of him. He probably averaged close to 10 yards per carry. The passing game was pretty vanilla for the Bobcats, but that seemed intentional. May need to open it up a bit more this week.
My biggest concern for Celina after game one was the penalties. Bobcats had over 200-yards-worth of penalties. That's insane. Those penalties are a big reason Paris was able to score at all, in all honesty. Some of that was a product of some very green officiating. Some of it was lack of discipline on Celina's part. Either way, they'll need to get that cleaned up pretty quick.
I think we'll see a slightly better game this week, but I still think the Bobcats win by 2-3 possessions again.
I wouldn't worry about that too much as
A)seems to always happen up there in Paris. The last 2 times Melissa went up there they had 20+ penalties many of which were very questionable. Last year think had 3 TDs called back just in the 1st quarter!
B)first game of year
Celina by 25+ over BL

#99 and #10 for Argyle are Havoc wreakers on defense...in fact the whole front 7 for Argyle is very good, but the secondary looks a little shaky. Melissa had 2 times with WIDE OPEN WRs that were missed and another time where a WR dropped the ball on a long pass on the strange play early in 3rd that looked like free play due to Multiple AHS players jumping offsides with nothing was called.
The secondary issue will obviously be something Lovejoy feasts on if not improved, so look for Leopards to have big passing night but not sure how effective their run game will be.
Argyle OL good again as they always are and a copy smaller but very slippery hard runners at RB. QB1 is smart and also threat to run. QB2 is young but seems poised. The Eagles WRs also seem quite a bit improved over last year too, so think they will score but will likely be outscored.
Going with Lovejoy 41-32.

China Spring (not Springs!) makes the long trip north to face Melissa tonight an a very interesting inter-classification matchup. If Melissa had 18 less students last October they'd be in the same classification, but guess same can be said for CS as they are one of the smallest 4A D1 schools.
Melissa originally had a tentative matchup with Denton Ryan this week but Ryan scheduled Bryant, AR (team that played Longview last year) so this matchup worked out a little better for Melissa. China Spring are defending state 4A D2 champs now on a 17 game win streak that opened with an impressive 38-20 win over defending 3A D1 champ Lorena. Melissa played well in 1st quarter at Argyle last week, but 5 turnovers and conditioning ultimately doomed them as Argyle outscored them 23-0 after that.
I think CS should be a slight favorite in this one but all the DMN pickers went with Melissa. Think the Cards may be missing a key player or two tonight due to concussion issues. Thinking Melissa may give QB2 some more looks tonight too.

The SOC QB is several notches below the guy they had last year who was really really solid. SOC will lean heavily on their outstanding D and run game.

Winning the district championship in 8-5A is going to be huge when it comes to seeding.
The champion won’t meet SOC until the 4th round. The runner up will get them in the second round.
Talk about motivation to win.
SOC is very good. So is Duncanville. Wowzers.
Are you sure about District 8 runner up possibly facing SOC in 2nd round?? I’m a Melissa guy and I thought District 7 runner up would play SOC 2nd round if they both won 1st round.

How big is SOC’s right guard, #55 ?
He is massive. Gotta be 360+. Been watching and he’s moves well for his size with good footwork and solid technique. Should be no surprise he’s committed to TCU

Well I guess it's back to the salt mines for both teams next week to get more work in for next week's games. I still think Melissa will be a very competitive football team by the time they face Lovejoy in Week 10. They have the personnel and pieces.....just like Argyle does. Both teams will improve quite a bit and be playoff teams for sure. Both teams have tons of room to get better and will be very polished by the end of the regular season. Both starting QB's need more action and more games, but both will make huge improvement in these predistrict games. Overall, Argyle looked shaky at times, but fought hard in a heated battle in the heat. Everybody was running on fumes by the end.
Melissa has had major conditioning issues early the past 2 seasons. In games 1 & 2 last year it was glaring and again tonight. By end of the 3rd quarter half the starters had suffered cramps or were just worn out. On the last Argyle TD run (80+ yard TD run) both Melissa ILBs just went out w/ cramps and bam…there goes the RB nearly untouched. It was a hot and humid night but the completion doesn’t seem to have nearly the same issues.

Both teams look a little sloppy.......Argyle has been called with more penalties for sure. But it's early and I do see plenty of quality out on the field. I can tell the heat is a slight problem.
Pretty sure Melissa finished with far more penalties than Argyle. #10 for Argyle is a great player but should have been ejected for that cheap shot and the 2nd half.

How does the Melissa OT look that's a Texas commit?
He never stepped on field in the 2nd half. Didn’t really appear to be injured so maybe just something precautionary.

Well you may know more about the transfer from McKinney, Ham, then most but in the spring game he was, well let’s just be honest, not good. You are right about throws a nice ball, good throwing motion but accuracy was bad and was often late getting the ball out I thought. It was spring ball though so who really knows. I actually thought the starter was going to be another kid who transferred from Denton Brasewell. Its hard to keep up with all the transfers though as it may be the same kid for all I know.
You are right though Melissa has athletes but can often be very undisciplined against better teams. That what has always impressed me about Argyle is that they are very well coached and than can make up for alot if lacking physical talent which Arglye is not. Not to mention some of the coaching decisions by the Melissa coaching staff has left you scratching your head over the years. If it comes down to X & O’s I’ll take Argyle every day of the week just due to Rogers experience and coaching acumen.
You know it's not the same kid LOL. Melissa does have some transfers but there will only be 2 starting transfers. When an ISD grows by 1,100 students (high school went from 971 to 1,317) in 2 years several of those 'new' kids will be football players. I'm sure the current state of the football program is attracting players but the amount of rooftops going up in the past 2-3 years and still happening today is insane. For the younger students elementary school #4 is under construction....in 2018 MISD had 1 elementary school.

Just saw the winning play that was ruled A TD for PC. Celina got jobbed as that was an int. The WR for PC didn’t have control of the ball & even if they thought he did his feet were out of bounds.
