Week 5 of the 2026 high school football season is upon us, and out in Central Texas, one team is absolutely torching the competition: Boerne Champion. These Chargers have stacked up a ridiculous 236 points while giving up a measly 24 through the early part of their season. That’s a level of dominance that just doesn’t happen by accident.
Westlake Faces a Nondistrict Grind, Anderson Gets a Real Test
Out in Westlake, the Chaparrals are wrapping up their nondistrict schedule against a tough Midland Lee squad that just beat Liberty Hill 28-21. Midland Lee’s offense is no joke, averaging 41.25 points per game, with quarterback JP Reyes already throwing for 1,108 yards and 13 touchdowns against only three interceptions on 67% completion. Westlake is coming off a bye, but they’re still stinging from a 49-40 thriller loss to Prosper. Quarterback Patton Jones, running back CJ Jones, and receivers Braden Riddell and Nash Chapman are all finding the end zone, so we’re talking about a definite shootout here. But when it comes down to crucial stops or forcing turnovers, Westlake has the edge. I’m with Chornobroff on this one, calling Westlake for the 34-28 win.
Then there’s Anderson, off to a stellar 2026 campaign, outscoring opponents 123-43 through three games. Quarterback Covert Darbyshire is absolutely clicking with his experienced receivers, and their defense has just been suffocating everyone they face. They travel to the greater San Antonio area to take on Boerne Champion, which is a whole different beast. Chargers sophomore quarterback Ryder Flugence, who 247Sports just called the top QB in his class, has 604 yards and 11 touchdowns on just 37 completions,that’s 16.3 yards per completion! And it’s not just Flugence; Caleb Farias, Flugence himself, and Easton Hamel have all surpassed 250 rushing yards already. Anderson is strong, but on the road, Boerne Champion at home might just be too much firepower. Chornobroff predicts Boerne Champion 41, Anderson 31, and honestly, that feels about right.
Stony Point Needs a Bounce Back, Fast
Stony Point is heading into their matchup against Round Rock needing a major offensive explosion. They’re two weeks removed from a 45-21 win over University high in Waco, but before that, they were in a crazy 51-45 shootout loss. Last week, they dropped a game to Bowie by 26 points, only putting up 21 themselves. If they want to upset Round Rock, Stony Point absolutely has to hit the 40s on the scoreboard. Round Rock, led by quarterback Dov Stickler and his high-powered passing game, already has wins against Dripping Springs and Vandegrift, including a thrilling 41-38 victory on September 18th where Simon Sylvain snagged the winning touchdown late in the game. Stony Point has to prove they can hang in a district matchup like this.
