Predicting the Biggest Week 4 Games in Texas: 4A, 3A, 2A
El Paso Chapin (1-2) at El Paso Andress (3-0): Northeast El Paso will be buzzing this week as this neighborhood rivalry takes center stage. Chapin, a 5A-Division II program, is reeling a bit after a surprise loss last week to Andress’ district rival El Paso Riverside, 44-43. A disaster of a first half doomed Chapin in the loss as the Huskies dug themselves a 26-14 hole at halftime that they were unable to climb out of. ATH Fabian Ortiz led the charge on offense with 72 receiving yards and a score along with 62 yards on the ground. Andress stepped up to the 6A level this past week and passed the test with a hard-fought come-from-behind 20-17 win over El Paso Franklin. Andress trailed 17-7 going into the fourth quarter, but QB Jamari Milton’s touchdown run cut the lead to one score and then Julian Guzman’s touchdown run with just under two minutes left in the game gave AHS the lead. Franklin tried to rally, but junior DB Calvin Hutchings picked off a pass and Andress kneeled it out to get the huge win. The Eagles are looking like a real threat out of the Sun City this year and with QB Milton leading the charge as one of the state’s best kept secrets, look for Andress to roll this week. Stepp’s Pick: El Paso Andress by 17
