Previews and Predictions for the Best Week 10 Texas High School Football Games of 2024
El Paso Eastlake (5-3, 4-0) vs El Paso Pebble Hills (5-3, 4-0): The district title is on the line in District 1-6A, as locals are expecting a full house at the Student Activity Center for this matchup. In a tough battle last week, Eastlake escaped El Paso Franklin, 21-14, as QB Luke Lomeli tossed three first-half touchdowns to stake the Falcons to a 21-0 lead. Then, the defense managed to hang on late for the key win. After losing three of their first four games under first-year head Ryan Warner, Pebble Hills has gotten things rolling with four straight wins after last week’s 55-26 win over El Paso Socorro. RB Zerian Quarles had a pair of touchdown runs, while sophomore QB Joe Fernandez continues to play well after he tossed three touchdown passes and ran for two scores. LB Dorian Jaramillo is one of the top defensive playmakers in West Texas and will lead the Spartans' defense. On paper, these two are evenly matched. The difference is experience at the QB spot, where Eastlake has a three-year starter and Pebble Hills is starting a sophomore. Stepp’s Pick: El Paso Eastlake by 6
