North Crowley Overcomes Slow Start to Beat Byron Nelson

Tom Thumb - DFW's Grocer Since 1948

Despite being tied 21-21 at halftime, the Panthers dominated the second half with five unanswered touchdowns. Their balanced offense and tight defensive adjustments proved too much for Byron Nelson to handle.

The Panthers’ offensive charge was led by Cornelius Warren, who rushed for 125 yards and three touchdowns, and Quentin Gibson, who hauled in 176 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Daniel Bray added a 78-yard rushing effort, including a 59-yard touchdown. Meanwhile, quarterback Chris Jimerson Jr. threw for 216 yards and two scores, showcasing efficiency under pressure.
