Preview and prediction for the best TXHSFB games of Week 5
Bushland (4-0) at Dumas (2-2):
Red-hot Bushland will put its unbeaten record on the line in one of the Panhandle’s toughest environments as they venture into Dumas to take on the Demons, who are reeling after back-to-back seven-point losses. Regardless of classification, Bushland has been among the most impressive teams in the Panhandle this year. Last week, the Falcons took down Dumas’ district rival, Canyon West Plains, 28-15. Bushland QB Quaid Ferris threw four touchdown passes in the win, while WR/DB Ty Purcell hauled in two touchdown receptions and added an interception on defense. Dumas fell to 5A Plainview, 35-28, despite strong efforts from QB Colton Mills (275 yards passing, one rushing touchdown, one receiving touchdown) and RB Conor Fry (172 yards, two rushing touchdowns). Dumas will keep this close at home, but Bushland’s defense, which has been stellar all season, will make the difference.
Stepp’s Pick: Bushland by 10
