Carrollton Creekview staged a thrilling 21-17 comeback win over W.T. White on Thursday, extending their perfect season to 6-0. Down 17-7 in the second half, the Mustangs rallied behind quarterback DeAndre Richardson, whose late touchdown run secured the dramatic victory. The win is another milestone in Creekview’s remarkable transformation under first-year head coach Dusty Ortiz, who has guided the team from a 21-game losing streak to a resurgent season.

Creekview faced challenges early, as W.T. White’s defense kept the Mustangs’ offense in check while Ben Ebeke’s dominant rushing helped the Longhorns build a 17-7 lead. However, Creekview’s resilience shone through in the second half, with timely adjustments and determined playmaking culminating in Richardson’s decisive score.

With the victory, Creekview remains unbeaten and continues to gain momentum in their pursuit of a playoff spot. W.T. White, now 4-2, showed flashes of strength but struggled to close out against a determined opponent.

The Mustangs now prepare to face the Turner Lions (2-3) on Friday, October 11, in a District 6-5A Division I clash. Turner enters the matchup after a tough 63-0 loss to West Mesquite, presenting Creekview with an opportunity to extend their winning streak and solidify their playoff aspirations.

Creekview’s turnaround underscores the impact of strong leadership and a refusal to quit. As they eye their first-ever playoff win, maintaining focus and consistency will be key to keeping their dream season alive.
