We commented two weeks ago on the fact that district 5-5A looked like a cakewalk for the # 1 ranked Euless Trinity Trojans. Now we're back pedaling faster than a defensive back covering a fly pattern. The Trojans were tested by the Keller Indians Friday night before emerging with a 17-10 victory and should receive another test in two weeks when they face the undefeated Colleyville Heritage Panthers.
Speaking of Trinity; what do they have in common with Katy Cinco Ranch? Think about it before finding the answer below.
A few interesting Class 5A matchups this week: The up and coming and undefeated Wylie Pirates take on class 5A # 2 Plano in a district 8-5A tilt and Galena Park North Shore travels to Lufkin as the two teams collide for the first time in the history of the two programs. North Shore is still looking to break Southlake Carroll's 72 game regular season win streak, while Lufkin sports a 27 game home win streak. GPNS and Lufkin were not originally scheduled, but both teams lost games due to Hurricane Ike and both had openings this week. Same situation with Katy Cinco Ranch and Southlake Carroll. Cinco Ranch travels to Southlake this week for an interesting matchup of unbeaten teams.
By the way, Plano's win this week came at the expense of the Plano East Panthers, who remain winless. East has had some good programs over recent years, but this has been a tough year as evidenced by their 0-5 record and the fact that they have been outscored 244-52 by their opponents.
In Class 4A, the Longview Lobos made a mockery of what most thought would be a close contest with a 41-7 stampede over Texarkana High. The Lobos tough schedule should prepare them for the playoffs and they now take on undefeated, state ranked Sulphur Springs in a game that will go a long way in determining the district 13-4A champion.
Strange week in Class 3A in that Celina moved up in our rankings and Giddings stayed in our top ten despite losses. However both losses were to pretty good 4A teams (Whitehouse and Elgin) and both games were extremely competitive.
In Class 2A, the Rosebud-Lott Cougars are trying to regain the form that made them state champions as recently as 2002. After going 2-8 in 2007, the Cougars are off to a 5-0 start.
In Class 1A, there'll be no major shake up in the polls as all members of the top ten won, with the closest game being Bremond's 31-30 nail biting win over Chilton.
Answer to question: Trinity and Cinco Ranch are both undefeated and they have handed all their opponents their only loss.
