4A, 3A and 2A Area Round Ultimate Preview

Alvarado (10-0) vs Sulphur Springs (10-1), 7:30 p.m. Friday at Prosper’s Children’s Health Stadium: Undefeated Alvarado faces their biggest test of the season by several factors this week as they take on a Sulphur Springs squad looking to avenge last year’s loss in the third round of the playoffs. There’s not much to be taken from last week’s games as both were totally lopsided affairs. Alvarado hammered Fort Worth Carter-Riverside, 77-0. RB DeMarcus Belton had a big first-half along with QB KJ Jenkins as the Indians raced out to a 49-0 halftime lead and cruised against an overmatched opponent. Sulphur Springs ripped through Dallas Kimball last week, 62-9. RB Jaxson Haire ran for two scores and had a touchdown catch, while sophomore WR Jaxon Virgel hauled in a pair of touchdown receptions to pace the Wildcats. The key in this game is Sulphur Springs up front; the Wildcats have a major size advantage over Alvarado and that edge in the trenches is enough to slow the Alvarado offense down. Stepp’s Pick: Sulphur Springs by 7
