Stepp's Ten Thoughts from Week 7 of the TXHSFB Season

Seven Unbeaten Matchups in Week 7
This week we had seven games featuring two undefeated teams hooking up and surprisingly, the results weren’t close in the majority of the matchups. We start in the DFW area in Class 6A where Allen, now 97-3 in its last 100 games, hit another gear in the second half and rolled past Plano East 74-36. In one of the games that was close, underdog Haltom stunned Euless Trinity 48-34. The Buffaloes haven’t gotten much respect around the DFW or statewide, but there’s zero question Coach Jason Tucker’s squad is on the radar at this point with a 6-0 record. Down in the Rio Grande Valley, Edinburg Vela left zero doubt that it's the Valley’s top team in a 17-7 defensive struggle victory over previously-undefeated Weslaco. If there was any question about the legitimacy of Frisco Reedy at this stage of the season, that was put to bed as the Lions once again physically dominated the line of scrimmage in a 51-0 demolition of Lovejoy. Moving to the small school ranks, Woodville staked its claim to a district title as the speedy Eagle defense completely shut down Buna in a 26-0 victory. In a playoff rematch from a year ago, Gunter got a much tougher test from Holliday this time, but the Tigers pulled away late for a solid 30-13 victory to remain unbeaten. Finally, out in East Texas Price Carlisle sent a message to Class 2A Division I with a 68-8 blowout over previously undefeated Cushing.

Lowest Scoring Game Of the Year
We had the lowest scoring game of the year on Thursday night in District 14-6A as Cy Lakes knocked off Bryan 3-0 in a defensive struggle. The only score of the game came when Jospeh Staiano nailed a 30-yard field goal early in the third quarter and the impressive Cy Lakes defense allowed that score to hold. The win also keeps Cy Lakes alive for its first playoff appearance in school history as its 4-3 on the season and 3-2 in district play.
