Texas high school football’s biggest movers and shakers after Week 5 (Subscribers Only)

Every week, Jerry Forrest's computer rankings and projections give us a deeper insight to every part of the Texas high school football world. Among the revelations his data provides are movers and shakers, the teams whose results have bigger impacts than initially meets the eye. 6A:School (Record)Ranking/Previous Ranking (+/-)Next OpponentMovers: Houston C.E. King (2-1)154/211 (+57)                                                        Galena Park North Shore (1-2) Shakers: Channelview (1-2)                              202/140 (-62)                                                         at Humble Atascocita (2-1) C.E. King’s 38-13 win over Channelview launches the Panthers up 57 spots. Neither school has an easy task this week with Galena Park on the slate for King and a trip to Humble up for the Falcons. 5A:School (Record)Ranking/Previous Ranking (+/-)Next OpponentMovers: Kerrville-Tivy (3-2)                                          41/87 (+46)                                                                        Open Shakers: San Antonio Alamo Heights (2-3)                112/55 (-57)                                                                         Open Kerrville-Tivy rebounded after a disappointing district-opener against Dripping Springs and won its first district game of the season last weekend over Alamo Heights (42-0). That sends the Antlers up into the Top 50. Both teams are open this week. 4A Div I:School (Record)Ranking/Previous Ranking (+/-)                                    Next OpponentMovers: Stafford (2-2)                                                     30/53 (+23)                                                                      West Columbia (2-1) Shakers: FW Diamond Hill-Jarvis (0-5)                        94/94 (0)                                                                         Open Stafford’s 27-7 win over previously-unbeaten district opponent Bay City is enough to inch the Spartans closer to the Top 25. Fort Worth Diamond Hill Jarvis has winless Castleberry on the horizon after the bye week. 4A Div II:School (Record)Ranking/Previous Ranking (+/-)Next OpponentMovers: Gonzales  (3-2)                                                   44/59 (+15)                                                                Open Shakers: Dallas Lincoln (3-2)                                          57/43 (-14)                                                                  Open Gonzales has a chance to build a win streak after a win over Uvalde last week and a game against struggling La Grange next week after the bye week. Previously unbeaten Dallas Lincoln has now lost two straight after this weekend’s defeat at Life Waxahachie. 3A Div I:School (Record)Ranking/Previous Ranking (+/-)Next OpponentMovers: Muleshoe  (1-4)                                                   45/75 (30)                                                                  Open Shakers: Ponder (2-3)                                                         77/59 (-18)                                                                Open Muleshoe’s tough non-district schedule that included three 4A teams and Childress finally paid of as the Mules knocked off Idalou, 33-3, for their first win. Ponder drops 18 spots after a 28-8 loss to Santo. The Lions have No. 4 Brock to look forward to after the bye. 3A Div II:School (Record)Ranking/Previous Ranking (+/-)Next OpponentMovers: Frankston  (1-4)                                                74/93 (+19)                                                                 Open Shakers: Idalou (1-4)                                                         57/26 (-31)                                                                 at Denver City (4-1) Frankston’s first win comes against All Saints Episcopal while Idalou’s loss to Muleshoe drops the Wildcats 31 places. 2A Div I:School (Record)Ranking/Previous Ranking (+/-)Next OpponentMovers: Chico  (2-3)                                                         68/80 (+12)                                                           Gainesville State School (0-3) Shakers: Gladewater Union Grove (3-2)                       62/50 (-12)                                                              Open Nico Sanders’ 93 yards on the ground and Jerod Banks’ two touchdowns helped Chico jump 12 places after the team’s shutout of Diamond-Hill Jarvis. Gladewater Union Grove’s loss to Cushing, despite over 200 yards rushing from Mike Webb and Dylan Borden, dropped the Lions 12 spots in Jerry's rankings. 2A Div II:School (Record)Ranking/Previous Ranking (+/-)Next OpponentMovers: Santo (3-2)                                                         10/15 (+5)                                                                Open Shakers: Evadale (3-1)                                                     35/18 (-17)                                                                Open Santo pops into the Top 10 of 2A Division II after a 28-8 win at Ponder while Evadale’s 38-6 loss at Hemphill drops the Rebels 17 places out of the Top 20. 1A Div I:        School (Record)Ranking/Previous Ranking (+/-)Next OpponentMovers: Veribest  (4-1)                                                24/42 (+18)                                                                 at Blackwell (5-0) Shakers: Apple Springs  (3-2)                                     61/53 (-8)                                                                     Marshall Christian Academy (3-1) Veribest moves into the Top 25 with a game against No. 13 Blackwell this weekend. Apple Springs’ blowout loss to Trinity School of Texas only dropped the Eagles eight spots. Marshall Christian, coming off its first loss, is up next. 1A Div II:School (Record)Ranking/Previous Ranking (+/-)Next OpponentMovers: Haskell Paint Creek  (2-3)                       32/43 (+11)                                                                      at Chillicothe (1-4) Shakers: Valera Panther Creek  (4-1)                    17/11 (-6)                                                                           Open Haskell Paint Creek handed Loraine its second loss of the season.
