BI-DISTRICT PREVIEW: Breaking down the biggest games in Texas high school football

Rockwall (7-2) vs. Belton (7-3) Friday 7:30 p.m. at Rockwall’s Wilkerson-Sanders Stadium:
Two of the state’s most potent offenses meet up in Rockwall Friday night as Belton makes the trip up from Central Texas looking to pull the upset on a Rockwall squad whose only two losses this year are to unbeaten Highland Park and Longview. Rockwall had last week off and it’ll be interesting to see how the ‘Jackets handle the idle time right before the playoffs. Rockwall’s offense is led by Minnesota commit QB Jacob Clark who has thrown for 27 touchdowns this year, and recent Ohio State commit WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba who has accounted for 20 total touchdowns this season and is averaging over 18-yards per reception.

Belton had a shot to play for the district title last week, but simply had no answers for the Waco Midway rushing attack last week in a 53-21 loss. BHS lost its starting signal caller a couple of weeks ago and the Tiger offense is, although still good, definitely has lost some punch. On the road and against a powerful offensive attack in Rockwall, that’s not a good recipe for the Tigers.
Stepp’s Pick: Rockwall by 15
