Previews and predictions for the best 6A-5A games in Texas for Week 3
Denton Guyer (2-0) vs North Crowley (2-0): The big question going into this game is after knocking off the state’s No. 1 team on the road, will North Crowley have a let-down against a dangerous Guyer squad? After taking down Aledo in Week 1, Guyer handled Arlington Martin, 38-19, but the Wildcats trailed 13-0 early before seizing control of the game with 35 straight points. RB Sterling Schneider ran for 219 yards and a score, while QB Kevin Sperry tossed a couple of touchdown passes in the win. North Crowley’s offense was about as unstoppable as it gets last week in a 57-51 win over DeSoto, as WR Quentin Gibson hauled in four touchdown passes while RBs Cornelius Warren and Daniel Bray combined for 280 yards and four scores on the ground. The concern for North Crowley is the defense allowed DeSoto to have three-100 yard rushers, but in the fourth quarter that unit rose to the occasion and slowed DeSoto enough for the win. Guyer’s concerns are about their inefficiency throwing the ball. The Wildcats have benefitted early from defense and special teams scores, but it’s tough to rely on that long term. Unless Guyer can improve the efficiency throwing the ball, North Crowley’s defense will figure the Wildcats out and pull away in the second half.
