12-5A FOOTBALL STANDINGS
Quick look: Mesquite took firm control of the district race with its 56-41 win over Horn last week. The Skeeters are 3-0, but most impressive in that start is those three victories have come against the other preseason favorites in Longview, Horn and Rockwall-Heath.
Mesquite can ill-afford to have a letdown on Friday, though, as crosstown rival North Mesquite will be revved up with its Homecoming game as it hopes to shake off a loss to Rockwall.
The other marquee game will be at E.H. Hanby Stadium, where the 2-1 Jaguars will look to bounce back against 1-1 Longview, who trounced Rockwall-Heath this past week.
And although it is still early, the loser of Friday's game between Rockwall and Tyler Lee could essentially be eliminated from playoff contention barring a major late-season turnaround.
