• Breaking down the most loaded Dallas-area 6A races heading into district play (dallasnews.com) — Forney and North Forney are locked in one of the Dallas area's toughest 6A football districts, where several teams are state-ranked and last year's race came down to a single district loss. As district play kicks off this week, The Dallas Morning News projects North Forney as the favorite, but early-season struggles and strong rivals like Longview and Rockwall-Heath suggest a wide-open battle local fans will want to follow closely.
