WEEK 10 PREVIEW: Breaking down the biggest games in Texas high school football

Waco Midway (6-1, 6-0) at Temple (8-0, 6-0):
The 12-6A title is on the line along with avoiding a trip to Longview in the first round as Waco Midway heads south on I-35 to visit undefeated Temple. Midway had no problems last week at home ripping Killeen Shoemaker 56-14 as backup RB Chase Palmer ran for 166 yards and four touchdowns, filling in for James Fulbright who had just three carries before sitting out after a minor leg injury. The Panthers will need all hands on deck this week going on the road to Temple.

The Wildcats had no trouble with Waco High in a 52-0 win last week led by Anthony Jackson who rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns and De’Jon Overton rushed for 90 yards and two scores to key Temple’s offense in the early victory. Temple’s been deadliest when the team has been balanced on offense as QB Jared Wiley and WR Quinten Johnson have been the Wildcats big play combination all year. Aside from a few breakout performances against subpar competition, Midway’s offense has struggled against good defensive teams and may not be able to keep up with the firepower that Temple brings to the table.
Stepp’s Pick: Temple by 11
