Preview and prediction for the best TXHSFB games of Week 5
Denton Guyer (2-1) at Flower Mound (3-0): After getting a bye in Week 4, district play begins in 5-6A and there’s plenty of intrigue as the district is proving to be deeper than many thought in the preseason. No one is surprised that Denton Guyer is off to a strong start and state ranked despite closing out non-district with a loss to North Crowley. The Wildcats have gotten things done with timely defense and special teams for the most part, while the offense, which is led by Oklahoma commit QB Kevin Sperry, has had success in fits and starts, but has lacked consistency. Flower Mound is one of the real surprise stories in DFW early on as the Jaguars swept through non-district at 3-0. FMHS has figured out how to win the close ones with a two-point win over Arlington Bowie in the opener and a touchdown in the game’s dying seconds to slip past Lake Highlands two weeks ago, 21-17. The Jaguars will need a little more of that magic this week if they want to pull the upset. Expect Guyer with the off-week to come out a little more crisp offensively. I think the Wildcats look to establish the running game to give Sperry a chance to show off the accuracy he has on the deep ball in play-action. Stepp’s Pick: Denton Guyer by 15
