North Crowley extended their postseason success on Friday against Permian. They breezed by the Panthers on the road to the tune of 63-10. The result was nothing new for North Crowley, who have now won 11 matches by 22 points or more so far this season.
Chris Jimerson continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, throwing for 205 yards and four touchdowns on only 18 passes, while also punching in two touchdowns on the ground.

Mason Ferguson did his part for the team as well, scoring a TD off of 32 receiving yards.
Meanwhile, Prosper stacked a fifth blowout onto their ever-increasing hoard on Friday. They blew past Lake Highlands 44-24. Given Prosper's advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 12th, while Lake Highlands is ranked 160th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
