4Q

FINAL: What a resilient win for nationally ranked Atascocita, which wins a game 42-39 in which it led 35-7 at halftime and trailed in the final minutes. Tory Blaylock, four-star senior Oklahoma commit, scored the go-ahead game-winner for the Eagles, who move to 5-0 on the year.

-- TOUCHDOWN, Atascocita! Tory Blaylock punches in the final touchdown, his third to finish with 187 yards on the night.

-- What. A Run. Cardae Mack bullies his way to an 18-yard conversion for a first down in a physical, drive-saving run.

-- Atascocita takes over and Tory Blaylock is brought down for a loss from behind to start the drive. Eagles need a spark as the clock keeps ticking.

-- TOUCHDOWN, Summer Creek! Comeback! Blake Thomas cashes another one and the Bulldogs have completed a comeback, regain the lead late. Summer Creek trailed 35-7 at half. (Summer Creek, 39-35 | 3:04)

-- What a pass! Blake Thomas hits sophomore receiver Tre Brown downfield for a 26-yard connection. Summer Creek catches Atascocita off guard with a gutsy third and eight call. 3:30 left in the game.

-- TOUCHDOWN, Summer Creek! Braylin Causey breaks loose up the middle for a 31-yard scoring run and makes Atascocita pay for gambling on fourth down. Then Tre Brown catches the two-point conversion to pull the Bulldogs within three.

-- Cardae Mack is stuffed! Summer Creek takes over after a sack near the Atascocita 40-yard-line with nine minutes left to play.

-- Cardae Mack hits Kyran Pate for a near-first down, as Pate pulled down the ball through heavy contact, bringing up a fourth and short near but not quite at midfield. Do they go for it, nursing an 11-point lead?

2Q

-- HALFTIME: Atascocita 35-7

-- TOUCHDOWN, Atascocita! Christopher Toney takes a handoff, sweeps left and jets around the entire Bulldog defense for his second TD of the game. (Atascocita, 28-7 | 10:04)

-- Cardae Mack with a ridiculous third down conversion — a 63-yard run in which he took a hit, spun a defender silly and exploded down the right side for a huge gain and the third 60-plus yard play of the game for Atascocita.

1Q

-- The first quarter ends with a turnover on downs as Thomas rolls left and heaves a deep ball incomplete down the left sideline.

-- Blaylock has 162 yards after one quarter. Read that again, Sooners fans.

--TOUCHDOWN, Summer Creek! Eugene Burnett breaks loose and out-runs the Eagles' safeties for a scoring run to answer. (Atascocita, 14-7 | 2:54)

-- TOUCHDOWN, Atascocita! Cardae Mack fakes a handoff and hits Christopher Toney deep for a touchdown catch. The Eagles take a two-score lead and has taken four total snaps. Three-play, 64-yard drive. (Atascocita, 14-0 | 3:50)

-- Sack! Jordan Johnson gets loose in the backfield and dives to yank down Thomas for his second sack of the season.

-- On third and six, Blake Thomas scrambles 39 yards for what appeared to be a touchdown — his second rushing touchdown of the season — but it was called back with a flag.

-- TOUCHDOWN, Atascocita! Summer Creek hadn't allowed a point all season. Until it met Tory Blaylock. The Oklahoma commit broke off a 70-yard touchdown in the first quarter of the top 10 showdown. Fireworks early. Blaylock doing what Blaylock has done thus far to every defense the nationally ranked Eagles have seen. (7-0, Atascocita | 8:43)

PREGAME READING

The Eagles are undefeated coming off of a blowout win over King to start district play in Week 5. Their signature win came at nationally ranked Westlake, the Austin power's first home loss since 2016, in Week 3.

Cardae Mack is a three-star running back-converted quarterback who has stepped under center seamlessly, flashing a strong command of read options and a reliable deep ball. Tory Blaylock, four-star Oklahoma-committed running back, is on a tear in the early season.

Atascocita is ranked No. 16 in the nation.
