WEEK 6 PREVIEW: Breaking down the biggest games in Texas high school football

Euless Trinity (4-0, 1-0) at San Angelo Central (4-1, 1-0):
The unbeaten Trojans take a long trip down to the Concho Valley this week to take on pre-season 3-6A co-favorite San Angelo Central. Trinity had no trouble last Thursday beating arch-rival Hurst Bell for the 21st straight time 40-13. THS scored on its first five drives as RB Brandon Theus ran for 195 yards and two touchdowns, while QB Laki Ellis accounted for three total touchdowns. Trinity’s physical defense continues to set the tone as well and will have laser focus this week on San Angelo sophomore QB Malachai Brown. Brown accounted for all four Bobcats touchdowns in a much closer than anticipated 26-21 win over Weatherford.

Central has been decimated this season by injuries not only at the QB position (Texas Tech commit Maverick McIvor in Week 3); but the entire offense has been hit hard with the injury bug. That’s not a good recipe this week against one of the state’s most physical teams. The game being at Bobcat Stadium will give San Angelo a boost and a big home crowd is expected, but a good defense and running game travels well and that’s the formula for success with Trinity.
Stepp’s Pick: Euless Trinity by 16
