That's right, folks. We're moving the big show to prime time so that we can bring you the big blows from this week's local heavyweight bouts:

6 p.m.: Dallas Skyline (11-0) vs. DeSoto (9-2) @ SMU's Ford Stadium

8 p.m.: Southlake Carroll (10-1) vs. Allen (10-1) @ Cowboys Stadium

We'll also be discussing the day's other action as well as games from Friday night and what lies ahead in the Texas state playoff picture.

So mark your calendars and join me, Brandon George, Matt Wixon and other SportsDay staffers for this special occasion. Most importantly, we want to hear from you ... so get ready to talk some high school football.

Euless Trinity answers with a 5-play, 56-yard drive, culminating in a 30-yard TD run by Brandon Carter on a reverse. Carter actually slowed up at the end so that the safety could hit him. He tumbled into the end zone and popped right back up.

Now that the Cover It Live blog has launched, I'll be moving over to that blog.

Plano drives 54 yards on five plays, scoring on a 3-yard run by Kirchmeier for an early 14-0 lead. Key play was a 36-yard pass from Michelsen to Robinson on a crossing pattern. ... Plano clearly has the momentum. This would be a huge upset if Plano keeps it up.
