North Crowley faces six teams included in the T25PS Public Schools Preseason Top 100. The Panthers open Aug. 28 against No. 71 Aledo before hosting No. 25 Southlake Carroll and Summer Creek on consecutive Fridays. District 11-6A play begins Sept. 18 at No. 8 Duncanville. That matchup sends North Crowley directly into one of the most demanding districts in Texas following UIL realignment. After facing Crowley and an open week, the Panthers travel to No. 23 Waxahachie. Mansfield Lake Ridge, Dallas Skyline and Mansfield follow before North Crowley closes the regular season at home against Red Oak. The schedule creates six major measuring sticks before the postseason. It will also test the depth of an offensive line replacing several starters.
