Summer Creek is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. In a tight game that could have gone either way, they made off with a 38-37 win over Katy. Given the Bulldogs' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 13th, while the Tigers are ranked 98th) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Summer Creek relied on the efforts of Noah Spinks, who threw for 194 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.4% of his passes, and Braylin Causey, who gained 80 total yards. Benny Easter Jr. got in on the action as well, returning a kick for a touchdown.
Special teams also played a big role in the game for Summer Creek, adding 14 points to the final score. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Easter Jr., who ran a kickoff back for a touchdown.
Meanwhile, King got themselves on the board against Jordan on Friday, but Jordan never followed suit. They claimed a resounding 52-0 victory over the Warriors. The result was nothing new for the Panthers, who have now won eight matchups by 30 points or more so far this season.

He was instrumental in King's win, rushing for 153 yards and three scores on only five carries, while also throwing for 167 yards and one TD on only 15 passes. Potts really tore up the turf during one magnificent 74-yard run. Dillon Mitchell was Potts' top target, picking up 126 receiving yards, while also rushing for 70 yards and one touchdown.
