The Northwest Texans will put their three-game home winning streak on the line against the undefeated Southlake Carroll Dragons, who are riding a three-game road streak. The highly anticipated matchup kicks off Thursday at 7:00 p.m., with Northwest’s stingy defense, allowing just 12.2 points per game, set to challenge Southlake Carroll’s explosive offense.

Last week, Northwest maintained their perfect season with a 28-14 road win over Keller Central. Nathanial Jean spearheaded the effort, rushing for 175 yards and a touchdown, boosting his season average to an impressive 102.8 yards per game. Quarterback Ryder Norton added to the Texans’ success, passing for 156 yards and two touchdowns in a well-rounded performance.

Southlake Carroll, meanwhile, dominated V.R. Eaton in a 50-14 blowout. The Dragons showcased their trademark offensive balance, with Davis Penn rushing for 131 yards and a touchdown on just 11 carries, while Brock Boyd contributed 108 total yards and two touchdowns. The Dragons amassed 256 rushing yards, their highest total since late last year.

Both teams remain unbeaten, with Northwest at 6-0 and Southlake Carroll at 7-0. This meeting will test Northwest’s stout defense against a Carroll team that has consistently outscored opponents by wide margins. One streak will end under the lights Thursday night, with major playoff implications on the line.
