North Crowley Runs Past Southlake Carroll, 40-10: Live Score Updates For Texas High School Football Matchup

A week after posting an improbable Texas high school football comeback, Southlake Carroll was unable to duplicate that feat.
At the same time, North Crowley put together another impressive performance in the early going of the 2026 season.
Behind four touchdown runs from senior halfback G'yrell Smith, the Panthers rolled to a 40-10 win against Southlake Carroll on Friday night at Crowley ISD Stadium in Fort Worth.
Smith, a North Texas commit, finished the night with 96 yards on 11 carries to go along with his four scores. North Crowley (2-0), which defeated Aledo last week 26-0, finished the night with 426 yards of total offense.
The Panthers built a 27-7 lead in the first half, but were mindful that the Dragons (1-1) fell behind Jenks (Oklahoma), 27-0, in its season opener last week at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. But SLC pulled off a massive comeback, ending up with a 34-33 win.
That wasn't the case on Friday, as North Crowley remained in control in the second half, extending its lead to 40-7 before the third quarter came to an end.
Panther quarterback Jahzeel McCradic passed for 124 yards and a score, while fellow quarterback Jacob Torres completed 6-of-7 passes for 102 yards and a TD.
SLC finished the night with 342 yards of total offense - 257 through the air. Quarterback Hudson Tomcheck, who was pivotal in the comeback win against Jenks, finished with 185 yards on 10-of-20 passing, along with the Dragons' lone TD.
