That's a very nice pre-district schedule In anyone's book.
There's really going to be some great games in Texas this year after the realignment.

"The Allen Eagles have scheduled one of the toughest 2026 Texas high school football non-district schedules, featuring matchups against state powerhouses Duncanville, DeSoto, and Southlake Carroll. These three teams boasted a combined 39-6 record in 2025, with two reaching state championship games."

That said.

Shame on Houston for not wanting to play North Shore pre-district....... that's just sad.

If John Curtis hadn't stepped up North Shore may have only had 9 games....... had 2 Dallas teams not stepped up North Shore may have only had seven games this year.

Much shame on Houston!
