Rock Hill, Walnut Grove and Prosper High all open the playoffs Friday at 7, with only Walnut Grove at home

Three Prosper ISD football teams open the UIL playoffs on the same night, and fans who want to see more than one will have to choose: all three bi-district games kick off at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13.

Only one is in Prosper. Walnut Grove (7-3) hosts Denton Braswell (7-3) at Children's Health Stadium in a Class 6A Division II, Region I game, according to the bi-district schedules published by NBC 5 and Dave Campbell's Texas Football. The two teams finished the regular season with identical records.

Two road trips

Prosper (9-1) is the only one of the three in the larger Division I bracket. It travels to Lewisville (7-3) for a Region I game at Goldsmith Stadium, Lewisville's home field.

Rock Hill (6-4) also heads into Denton County for its Division II, Region I opener. It faces Denton Guyer (8-2) at Collins Stadium in Denton.

That puts two Prosper ISD schools against Denton ISD teams in the same opening round, with Walnut Grove at home and Rock Hill on the road.

Watching from home

The Prosper-Lewisville game is listed on the NFHS Network, the subscription streaming service that carries UIL playoff broadcasts. Families planning to attend any of the three games should check the host school district's athletics site for ticket sales before Friday.

Winners move on to the area round.
