TX HS Football Recap

The way things played out in week 10 will see Division I 5A loaded to the hilt with the top 6 ranked teams in the state. Trinity, Katy, Stony Point, Woodlands, and Coppell all enter the playoffs in Div I undefeated. Trinity and Katy are on opposite sides of the draw, so we could get that matchup on Dec 18.

Allen rebounded from seeing their streak ended by scoring the first 4 touchdowns against 2nd place Flower Mound. Allen gained 758 yards and led 42-14 at the half. Unfortunately they will get Trinity in round 2. Allen got big games from their 2 offensive studs; Jonathon Lee, committed to Baylor, had 3 touchdown catches, and Jonathon Williams, a junior, ran for 298 and finished the year with 1833 yards and a hefty 8.2 avg/carry.

Division II 5A is more wide open. Several good teams will contend that are not so highly ranked but have huge potential. Guyer, Longview, the 2 Abilene schools, Lufkin, and Southlake are some teams in Div II to watch.

The other game we'll get to see on Dec 18 is 4A Div I. The studs in that bracket are Denton Ryan, Waco Midway, Smithson Valley, and Lake Travis.

I've enjoyed seeing Southlake falter, going 7-3 this year. But a story this week said that between their 2 8th grade teams, their 2 freshmen teams, and their 2 JV teams this year, they had only 2 losses combined. Sounds like they will be back.
