Editor’s Note: Every week McKinneyNews.net will recap the performances of former MISD football players at the collegiate level. This edition is for games played on Sept. 22.

Texas Tech’s Shannon Woods (McKinney North) continues to make a living out of getting into the end zone.

Woods, who ran for 60 yards and had 32 receiving yards, has six touchdowns on the season for Tech (3-1).

Justin Foyt (McKinney) had a career day in No. 14 Midwestern State’s 49-14 win, registering 3.5 tackles for a loss and 2.5 sacks for minus-19 yards. Foyt and the Mustangs improved to 4-0, a perfect season that has seen Midwestern State yet to surrender more than 15 points in a game.

Colin Bado (North) scored the game-winner in Missouri Southern’s 17-16 win over Southwest Baptist. Bado caught six passes for 100 yards, including a 12-yard scoring strike with 12:24 left in the fourth quarter to send the Lions to victory.
