in the teams' crucial District 7-4A DI clash Senior DB/WR Jeremiah Harper helped lead the explosive effort with 207 all-purpose yards and 4 TDs AUBREY — Aubrey made big play after big play Friday on its way to a 44-14 drubbing of local foe Lake Dallas in the teams’ crucial District 7-4A DI clash The Chaparrals racked up a 38-0 lead by halftime after outgaining Lake Dallas 283 yards to 104 through the first 24 minutes of action and never looked back A 41-yard field goal and five first-half touchdowns of at least 20 yards 3-2 in district) to take a big win for their playoff hopes while narrowing Lake Dallas’ (5-3 1-3) path to the postseason in the process “Lake Dallas had their back against the wall being 1-2 in district and we knew we were going to get their best shot but we felt the same way,” Aubrey coach Keith Ivy said “This was a game we had to have and felt like we could if we played up to our level Aubrey senior athlete Jeremiah Harper helped lead the way to victory with 207 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns on the night Harper does a little bit of everything for Aubrey between starting at safety appearing at wide receiver and seeing some snaps at running back before adding punt returner to the resume against Lake Dallas He tallied four carries for 67 yards and two touchdowns and caught three passes for 53 yards and one score alongside a big special-teams play Harper dropped back to receive a Lake Dallas pooch punt early in the second quarter and returned it 87 yards for a touchdown that helped Aubrey extend its lead to 17-0 with the first of four TDs in the period It was also Harper’s first-ever punt return “That was my first time punt returning ever in a game so I was just running for my life and got good blocks from my teammates,” Harper said Aubrey went up 3-0 with 9:31 left in the first quarter when sophomore kicker Peyton Caldwell nailed a 41-yard field goal to cap off its opening drive Lake Dallas had a chance to tie on a 20-yard field goal attempt but the try missed wide to keep it 3-0 with 3:08 left in the period The Chaps added their first touchdown to lead 10-0 with five seconds left in the first quarter as Harper broke away for a 45-yard touchdown run on a fourth-and-1 play He struck again early in the second period with the punt return TD that helped Aubrey continue building its 38-0 lead by halftime Senior quarterback Brock Temple threw for three touchdowns in the period as he hit senior athlete Tyler Brown on a screen pass he took 50 yards to the end zone for the first score Temple then found Harper for a 20-yard TD and connected with Brown again for the half’s final score Temple finished 11 of 13 for 216 yards and three TDs and Brown caught six passes for 158 yards and two of those scores The Chaps’ defense was perhaps even more impressive than their offense in limiting a highly productive Lake Dallas attack The Falcons went into the contest averaging 39.7 points per game on the year including 41 per game in their first three district contests Aubrey shut the Falcons out in the first half and allowed just one touchdown to their starters on the opening drive of the third quarter before a garbage-time TD set the final margin “We came out and wanted to stop the running game first so we tweaked a few things in our secondary with our coverage stuff to try and match our best on their best and limit their best receivers Lake Dallas opened the second half with its first scoring drive as senior running back Dylan Brauchle ran in for a 13-yard touchdown to make it 38-7 with 7:29 left in the third quarter Brauchle finished with 18 carries for 77 yards and one TD to lead the Falcons Aubrey quickly answered the score with one of its own as Harper ran for a 3-yard touchdown to make it 44-7 with 4:38 left in the quarter after a bad snap led to no extra-point attempt The Chaps had a 36-yard field goal try blocked by Lake Dallas’ Jaden Bibbs with 5:23 left in the fourth quarter The Falcons later capitalized with an 8-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Ben Allen to junior wide receiver Josh Moore to set the final margin with 3:57 to play Lake Dallas continues district play Friday Aubrey travels to face Frisco Panther Creek (7-1 3-1) next Friday with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m It will be the Chaps’ regular-season finale ahead of their Week 11 bye Aubrey could clinch a playoff berth with one more win next week and give itself a shot at finishing as high as second in the district That opportunity comes due to Aubrey’s strong turnaround from dropping its first two games of district play against Sulphur Springs and No “I feel like we’re on a big roll right now and have our confidence going after dropping those first two games to the top two teams in the district,” Ivy said so that’s going to be a big-time atmosphere shown during last year’s Region I-6A golf tournament helped the Wildcats qualify for regionals for the second straight year with a

Falcons were more than able to overcome the yellow hankies on the way to their third consecutive 4-0 start while the Bullfrogs (0-4) remained winless Lake Dallas has gone 6-0 to open each of the last two seasons a feat it’s two-thirds of the way to accomplishing this fall after beating Lake Worth “It was a good game for us,” Lake Dallas coach Jason Young said “We executed well offensively and defensively Our biggest problem is we’re shooting ourselves in the foot with penalties The Falcons got rolling in a hurry offensively Senior running back Dylan Brauchle got the ball rolling on Lake Dallas’ opening drive as he ran for a 7-yard touchdown to give his team a 7-0 lead with 8:27 left in the first quarter The big play on the drive came on a 38-yard completion from junior quarterback Thomas Adams to junior wide receiver Gavin Young Young scored a 56-yard receiving touchdown to open the Falcons’ next series and put them up 14-0 with 5:46 left in the first quarter The Falcons

They fought hard in that first four and by the end of the third we had it a bit closer and they will fight the whole entire time."

Falcon Stadium Before the start of the 2024 season many considered District 7-4A Division I as the best district in the state and this quadruple overtime thriller played at Lake Dallas High School was a great representation of the type of play in this loop Frisco Panther Creek came into this Friday night matchup with a 6-1 mark and 2-1 in district play while Lake Dallas entered with a 5-1 mark and 1-1 in district play so this game had a ton of playoff positioning on the line This showdown was a tale of two halves as Frisco Panther Creek absolutely dominated early in the game as the Panthers raced out to a 28-6 halftime lead Panther Creek on their third possession jumped out to a 7-0 lead as QB Graylyn Fry connected with speedy WR Cristian Trickett for a 61-yard touchdown pass to put the Panthers ahead with 2:01 left in the first quarter Lake Dallas would get their lone score in the first half early in the second quarter as RB Dylan Brauchle scored on a four-yard run Lake Dallas recovered an onside kick and the Falcons moved inside the ten-yard line but their field goal attempt was blocked and Panther Creek would seize that momentum with a big run Fry would throw his second touchdown pass of the first half throwing a 53-yard touchdown pass to junior WR Jalen Lott making it 14-6 PCHS with 6:23 left in the second quarter Lake Dallas on the next drive moved to the Panther Creek 29 but DB Elyon White picked a pass off to give his offense the ball back Panther Creek would finish the first half with a flurry as with 1:13 left in the half Fry connected with Lott for a sixteen-yard touchdown pass to make it 21-6 Panther Creek Panther Creek’s Donovan Webb returned the Lake Dallas punt into the red zone and with just sixteen seconds left in the half Caleb Champion hauled in Fry’s fourth touchdown pass of the first half giving Panther Creek a 28-6 lead heading to the half Panther Creek would add a field goal from Beckham Catmull with 7:37 left in the third quarter to extend the lead to 31-6 setting the stage for a wild Lake Dallas rally The Falcons would get back into the game with a touchdown from running back Malcom Simon on a one-yard run and after an interception LDHS got another score as QB Thomas Adams threw a 15-yard pass to wide receiver Gavin Young Those scores trimmed the lead to 31-20 with 1:09 left in the third quarter LDHS would later cut the game to a one score lead on a 30-yard field goal from Mitchell White to make it a 31-23 game With 3:41 left in the game the Falcons defense would get a stop and give their offense the ball back with a shot to tie the game up The Falcons would move to the Panther Creek thirteen yard line but the Panther Creek defense would get a stop with 0:39 left in the game and it appeared PCHS was ready to run the clock out Panther Creek would fumble on their first play giving Lake Dallas the ball back with another chance to tie the game up This time LDHS would capitalize as QB Thomas Adams tossed a six yard touchdown pass to Braxton Allison making it 31-29 and RB Brauchle would run in the two point PAT to tie the game up at 31-31 to send the game to overtime after Lake Dallas blocked a last ditch Panther Creek field goal attempt on the final play of regulation LDHS opened overtime with the ball and quickly took their first lead of the game as Adams threw an eight-yard touchdown pass to TE Chase Elliot giving Lake Dallas a 38-31 lead Panther Creek would answer on their series as Seth Jackson would score on a 14-yard touchdown run to tie the game up at 38-38 going into the second overtime This time Panther Creek would start with the ball in the second overtime and the Panthers would take a 44-38 lead as Jalen Lott would score on a one-yard run Lake Dallas would have a response as QB Adams would score from a yard out to make it 44-44 but the Lake Dallas two-point try would fail to send the game to a third overtime both teams would fail to convert sending the game to a fourth overtime Panther Creek would convert on their dueling two point try in the fourth overtime as QB Fry connected with Trickett to make it 46-44 Lake Dallas’ attempt would be incomplete and Panther Creek would walk out of Lake Dallas with an exhausting 46-44 four overtime victory The loss was devastating for Lake Dallas as this started a four game losing streak to end the season and the Falcons would miss out on the playoffs while Panther Creek would finish the season winning four straight games before falling in the area playoffs to Alvarado and finishing with a 10-2 record We've been the Bible

He’s a highly regarded college prospect in the Class of 2025 with scholarship offers from Georgia, Louisville and UTEP posted to his account on X (formerly known as Twitter) Jones has quickly made an impression with the Falcons as well and looks poised to help anchor their secondary this fall “He’s only played varsity football for one year He played a little bit in middle school but decided he was a basketball guy and all of a sudden he’s got a bunch of offers Although Lake Dallas loses a sizable chunk of talent at the skill positions it has a wealth of returning players on both the offensive and defensive lines which Young says are the strengths of the team Seniors Nathan Giaimo and Haden Sander and junior Liam Brownfield are back to lead the offensive line after all three saw extensive playing time last season Giaimo anchors the group after earning first-team all-district honors in 2023 while Sander has garnered some interest from collegiate programs as well Defensive end is another deep position for the Falcons with seniors Terrance Livingston Curran Hill and Noah Wright each having impressed within the program Sophomore defensive tackle K’Adrian Redmond has also generated plenty of buzz given his impressive athleticism at 6-foot-3 and nearly 300 pounds He already holds scholarship offers from several FBS programs in TCU The Falcons’ wealth of talent in the trenches certainly looks poised to be a key part of their chances of success this fall “That group just busts their tails; they’re leaders on this team,” Young said “Not only out here doing stuff [at practice] but we’ve been in the weight room with these guys since the season ended and they’ve been basically pulling two-a-days They would come in there early and work out on their own then we’d go through our normal offseason as well Coach: Jason Young (21-12 in three seasons as Lake Dallas head coach) Last playoff berth: 2023 (area round qualifier) Lake Dallas has not had much uncertainty at quarterback in recent years between Cade Bortnem and current Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby before him Bortnem has graduated, however, after leading the way for the Falcons’ offense each of the last two seasons. He was particularly prolific in 2023, earning All-Area Most Valuable Player honors after throwing for 2,494 yards 26 touchdowns and eight interceptions alongside running for 386 yards and 10 more scores last year Filling Bortnem’s shoes will be no small task but a front-runner has emerged in the competition for the starting quarterback job Young said Adams has adjusted well to learning Lake Dallas’ offensive system and has “looked really good” in the offseason How well the Falcons ultimately replace Bortnem at quarterback will be critical to their ceiling this fall Lake Dallas faces a schedule that features plenty of challenges including five teams that made the playoffs last year in District 7-4A DI play alone but its meeting with Frisco Panther Creek could be one of the biggest It’s the first contest after the Falcons’ bye week and the start of a critical four-game stretch that will define their season After taking on the district favorite Panthers Lake Dallas then travels to face preseason No hosts a formidable Sulphur Springs team the week after and takes on No Starting that tough stretch of games strong would certainly benefit the Falcons as would taking a game from one of the likely contenders for the district title It all makes for what looks to be one of Lake Dallas’ most intriguing games of the season High school football season is almost here By Hojun ChoiReporter state wildlife officials said they think the sightings near Lewisville Lake and in Plano were of the same animal Breaking NewsGet the latest breaking news from North Texas and beyond GoogleFacebookBy signing up you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy Mountain lions are not common in the Dallas-Fort Worth area an urban wildlife biologist for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department The agency started formally tracking mountain lion sightings in the state in the early 1990s “Mountain lions were historically found in north and central Texas but they have been extirpated from the area and they’re not really found here anymore,” Richter said a mountain lion was spotted on security cameras at a RV Park in Lake Dallas a resident in western Frisco reported a sighting after a mountain lion was caught on his security camera roaming through his backyard State wildlife officials have also confirmed a third mountain lion sighting on Nov. 8 in Plano The pair of sightings confirmed by Texas wildlife officials in early November were the first for Denton County but they were not the first for the Dallas-Fort Worth area In late 2020, a mountain lion was spotted in Rowlett and parts of Collin County. The animal was likely killed by hunters in Hunt County While state wildlife officials think the animal seen in recent videos is just passing through the area one of the people who reported the now-confirmed sightings told The Dallas Morning News he heard reports of a mountain lion in the area two years ago Both the confirmed sightings in Denton County were at about 4 a.m. according to state officials and the people who reported the sightings In the case of sightings, people should gather the photo or video evidence they have and contact the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The list of the agency’s local biologists is available on the department’s website Encounters and incidents involving mountain lions are “extremely rare,” Richter said Texas Parks and Wildlife is only aware of four mountain lion attacks on humans in Texas and all of them were in “remote areas of West Texas.” and if you have small pets or kids with you People should not run or turn their back on the animal They should keep their gaze on the animal and back away slowly people should try to “look big” by waving their arms and do anything in their power People should report all aggressive mountain lion behavior to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Richter said she thinks it would be “dangerous” for people to try to hunt the mountain lion especially because it was seen in neighborhood settings anyone with a valid hunting license may take a mountain lion at any time of the year adding there are no reporting requirements who is also an urban wildlife biologist for the state wildlife department said Texas has no protections on mountain lions Mountain lions are a species of concern because of their small population but are also considered a nuisance species to people who raise livestock state officials do not know exactly how large the population is “All other states that have mountain lions have some level of protection adding that he would like to see more data on how many mountain lions are in the state The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department accepts voluntary reports through the department’s Texas Hunt and Fish mobile app People can also contact their local state wildlife department biologist if the person who harvested the mountain lion is interested TPWD can collect biological samples for research he was a breaking news reporter for The Dallas Morning News
