Out of five schools in the Mesquite ISD, three made the playoffs, and all three are on to the third round of the playoffs.
When you think of Mesquite, you would assume Mesquite or North Mesquite would be in the playoff mix, but this season, it is the other three schools in the district that have stepped up.
Mesquite Horn pulled off a surprising 48-14 drubbing of Copperas Cove in the first round of the Class 5A DII playoffs and takes on Leander Saturday afternoon in Waco. Horn was the third place team in district 11-5A, where the top two teams, Longview and DeSoto, are also still alive.
In Class 4A, Mesquite Poteet pulled off a surprise of its' own in the second round by defeating a Whitehouse team that many thought had the potential to challenge for a state title by a 24-19 margin. The road continues to be tough for them as they take on undefeated Highland Park in the third round.
Class 4A West Mesquite also won a big game last week with a 55-34 win over a Sherman team whose only loss was by one point earlier in the season to Highland Park. They now face 9-3 Wylie at Cowboys Stadium on Friday.
The only state championship won by a Mesquite ISD school was by Mesquite High, which won the title in 2001 with a 14-13 victory over San Antonio Taft.
