Lubbock Estacado (1-0) at Dumas (0-1): Lubbock Estacado opened the season with a stellar defensive effort in a 16-7 win over Midland Greenwood last week. RB J'Kameron Thomas ran for 135 yards, while QB Kolby Sims tossed a pair of touchdown passes to lead the Matadors offensive attack. But the key was the defense that held Greenwood to just 171 yards of offense and didn’t allow a score until midway through the fourth quarter. The only negative for Estacado was three turnovers, one of which set up the Greenwood score.
Dumas had trouble slowing down Wichita Falls Rider in a 38-18 loss as the Demons young defense was hurt by big plays and the offense simply was unable to establish the run, tallying just 55 yards rushing.
