Waco La Vega (3-1) at Stephenville (4-0): Waco La Vega will look to close out non-district with a signature win as the Pirates visit brand new Briles Stadium to take on unbeaten Stephenville in a battle of state-ranked 4A squads. La Vega easily dispatched Stephenville’s arch-enemy Brownwood last week, 38-16, as QB Kourtney Parr tossed three touchdown passes, one going to Oklahoma State WR commit Jabarie Thornton, as the Pirates cruised to the big home win. Stephenville started fast and simply never looked back last week in an impressive 52-13 win over 5A Abilene Wylie. RB Zyler McClendon ran for three scores, while QB Trot Jordan ran for a score and threw for another score. Stephenville’s veteran defense, which returned 10 starters from last year, dominated as well, holding Abilene Wylie to just 36 yards rushing on the night. La Vega’s team speed and ability to throw the ball down field will be a challenge for Stephenville, but La Vega has yet to find consistency in the running game. You’ll need balance to take down the Yellow Jackets. Stepp’s Pick: Stephenville by 12
