Top-ranked Southlake Carroll (13-0) heads back to Fort Worth on Saturday looking to keep its unbeaten season rolling when the Dragons meet Denton Guyer (11-2) in a UIL Class 6A Division II quarterfinal.

Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. at Crowley ISD Stadium, the same site where Carroll wrapped up a weather-delayed win over Prosper that didn’t finish until nearly 2 a.m.

Carroll enters as a clear favorite after handling Prosper 49-31 and owning a nearly 50-point win over Byron Nelson earlier this fall — the same Byron Nelson team Guyer needed a last-second field goal to slip past last week. These teams haven’t seen each other since last December, when the Dragons walked out of Denton with a 56-45 victory in a game that turned into a track meet. Both staffs are familiar with how quickly that matchup got loose, and both know a similar shootout is possible again.

If Guyer wants to flip the script, its defense gives the Wildcats a legitimate shot. Guyer has allowed just 100 rushing yards across three playoff games, posting a shutout in the opener and forcing three interceptions against Byron Nelson in the regional semifinal. Dual-threat quarterback Carter Nelson and four-star running back Kaedyn Cobbs — an Illinois commit who also stars at linebacker — headline an offense built on physicality and ball control.

Carroll’s firepower remains the biggest variable. Quarterback Angelo Renda has steered an offense averaging nearly 52 points behind 3,749 passing yards and 46 total touchdowns, and Ohio State pledge Brock Boyd continues to deliver as one of the state's most productive receivers with 1,271 yards and 17 scores. The Dragons also flashed a new wrinkle last week when senior defensive back Parker Harris erupted for 95 rushing yards, two touchdowns, a touchdown pass and an interception.

Guyer, making its 12th regional final and sixth in the last seven seasons, leans on discipline and defensive strength. Carroll brings depth, balance and momentum. Whoever controls the tempo — and limits mistakes — will have the inside track to the state semifinals.

1st Quarter

Guyer won the toss and deferred to the second half. Southlake Carroll's first drive began at it's own 24.

Carroll quickly picked up a pair of first downs to get the ball out to midfield, but the drive stalled out at the Dragons' own 45.

BLOCKED PUNT! Caleb Fowler broke free and blocked Carroll's punt attempt and recovered it at the Dragons' 8 to set up first-and-goal with just under 9 minutes left in the first.

TOUCHDOWN! Two plays after the blocked punt, Guyer's Kaedyn Cobbs scored on a 6-yard run. The PAT was no good, but Guyer drew first blood to take a 6-0 lead with 8:17 left.

Carroll's second possession, like its first, started at its own 24.

TOUCHDOWN! Two plays into Carroll's second drive, Dragons quarterback Angelo Renda threw a bomb to receiver Brock Boyd, an Ohio State pledge, for 74 yards. Boyd's 18th touchdown grab of the season put Carroll in front 7-6 with 7:20 left in the first quarter.

Guyer started its second drive at its own 25.

BIG PLAY! On the second play of Guyer's second drive, Kaedyn Cobbs rushed for 33 yards to set up a first down at the Dragons' 40.

TOUCHDOWN! One play after Cobbs' big run, and on the third play of the drive, Carter Morgan pulled the ball on a read option and raced untouched for 40 yards. The PAT put Guyer back in front, 13-7, with 5:56 left in the first.

Carroll's third drive started at its own 28.

BIG PLAY! Angelo Renda attempted to run up the middle on a keeper, but Guyer four-star defensive end Zane Rowe wrapped him up in the backfield and stopped him for no gain at the Dragons' 49 to set up third down, forcing Carroll to burn its first timeout.

FAKE PUNT! TURNOVER ON DOWNS! The Dragons gambled on a fake punt from its own 49, but the run didn't get close to the line of gain, and Guyer took back possession at its own 41.

BIG PLAY! On Guyer's first play after the fake punt, running back Kaedyn Cobbs broke loose on another big run down to the Carroll 36. It looked like he would score, but he accidentally stepped out of bounds as he was racing up the Wildcats' sideline.

BIG PENALTY! On third-and-6, Carter Morgan high-stepped a defender for what would have been his second touchdown run (a 22-yarder), but the Wildcats were flagged for a holding call to wipe out the TD. The net play resulted in an incomplete pass to set up fourth down.

TURNOVER ON DOWNS! On fourth-and-16, Morgan found Corbin Glasco wide open across the middle for what would have been a key first down, but he couldn't haul it in, and Carroll took over at its own 32 with 1:43 left in the first.

TOUCHDOWN! On Carroll's third play after the turnover on downs, the Dragons ran a double receiver reverse flea-flicker, and Renda dropped a 31-yard pass into a bucket to receiver Luc Jaquemard to give the Dragons a 14-13 lead with 56 seconds left in the half.
