Preview and prediction for the best TXHSFB games of Week 6
Coppell (4-0, 1-0) at Denton Guyer (3-1, 1-0): The top two teams in 5-6A (and the two preseason favorites) clash in a massive measuring stick game for both programs. Coppell had an easy time in its district opener, as the Cowboys rolled to an easy 49-14 win over Hebron. Baylor commit, QB Edward Griffin III threw for 305 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Cowboys and the defense played its best game of the year by holding Hebron to just 209 yards of offense. Guyer took down previously unbeaten Flower Mound, 44-36, as the Wildcats had to hold off a late FMHS rally after leading 41-21 going into the fourth. Oklahoma commit QB Kevin Sperry had his best game as a Wildcat throwing for 275 yards and four scores, while adding 63 yards on the ground. Guyer’s defense feasted on four Flower Mound turnovers, as well. Coppell’s a battle tested team with one of the state’s best quarterbacks and I don’t see the Cowboys making those type of mistakes this week. Both defenses will come to play, but in crunch time give me Griffin to lead his team on a late drive to pull it out. Stepp’s Pick: Coppell by 4
