Previews and predictions of the best Week 7 TXHSFB games
Midland (4-1) at Wolfforth Frenship (4-1): It’s a clash of opposites in this key 2-6A opener, as Midland High and its option-based ground offense takes on high-flying Wolfforth Frenship. Midland High closed out non-district play last week in style with an easy 56-31 win over Santaluces (Fla.) in a game that the Bulldogs led 56-10 going into the fourth quarter before SHS added some late window dressing. MHS ran for 444 yards on the night, as UTEP commit RB Elijah McCoy ran for four touchdowns and Chris Lange ran for two scores along with a receiving touchdown. As for Frenship, there aren’t many offensive attacks in the state, regardless of classification, as potent as the Tigers' as they enter district play averaging 53.6 points per game. Frenship has a pair of dynamic FBS prospects on the outside in WRs Leyton Stone (Texas Tech commit) and Chase Campbell. QB Holden Phillips has had three games with six or more touchdown passes this year, but the Tigers did struggle a bit two weeks ago in a 35-34 win over private school power Midland Christian. This game might come down to who has the ball last, and at home, I’ll lean toward Frenship, where we could easily see 100 total points when this one wraps. Stepp’s Pick: Wolfforth Frenship by 4
