Week 5 of Lubbock-area high school football is not even officially in the books yet, with the Frenship at Amarillo Tascosa matchup set to resume Saturday morning. Tascosa holds a 13-7 lead through one half, leaving fans hanging on the edge of their seats for the final whistle. But even with one game paused, the action that went down Thursday and Friday was nothing short of wild.
Thursday Night Kicked Things Off with a Bang
Thursday, September 24, delivered some serious heat right out of the gate. In District 2-5A Division II, Abilene Wylie absolutely brought the house down, dominating Coronado with a 56-20 victory. Talk about putting up points early! Over in non-district interclass play, Canyon West Plains JV snagged a solid 28-18 win against Lockney. Then we got a taste of Class 1A football, and it was everything you want: Woodson winning a tight one against Guthrie, 46-41. What a battle! Loop, meanwhile, put on a defensive clinic and a scoring parade, shutting out Lorenzo 50-0. That’s how you start a weekend, right?
Friday Night Delivered Absolute Madness and High Drama
Friday, September 25, just kept the pedal to the metal with games all over the Lubbock area. District 2-5A Division I saw Abilene High take down Lubbock High 31-7. Amarillo High wasn’t messing around either, lighting up Frenship Memorial 59-21. Monterey came out strong, getting a 24-0 shutout against Amarillo Caprock. The non-district matchups were just as wild, with Levelland scoring 64 points against Littlefield’s 36. Sweetwater went absolutely off, dropping a massive 83 points on Snyder, who managed 20. Friona beat Farwell 40-12, and Eunice from New Mexico won against Lamesa 48-16. New Home squeezed out a 27-19 victory over Roosevelt, while Slaton absolutely crushed Trinity Christian 63-6. Kingdom Prep also pitched a shutout against Baird, 50-0. And if you like offense, Christ the King won a ridiculous shootout against Kress, 63-51!
Class 4A saw Estacado win 36-23 over Pecos, and Lubbock-Cooper Liberty went completely nuts, demolishing Plainview 63-0. Seminole at El Paso Riverside was still in progress, so we’ll have to wait for that final word. Class 3A had Crane beating Brownfield 48-18, Dimmitt taking down Denver City 48-30, Idalou winning 46-35 against Shallowater, and Odessa Compass narrowly beating Muleshoe 38-35. Class 2A was packed with action: Spearman 55, Abernathy 22; Hale Center 48, Clarendon 26; Floydada with a 46-0 shutout over Ralls; Post 56, Hawley 21; Bovina 38, Morton 20; Ropes crushing New Deal 63-7; Seagraves 36, Sundown 20; Olton shutting out Shamrock 64-0; Crosbyton 34, Smyer 6; Sudan 32, Tulia 22; Iraan 34, Tahoka 19; and Plains 55, Van Horn 7.
The Class 1A Scoreboards Nearly Broke
But honestly, Class 1A was where the scoreboards went into overdrive. Motley County scored 72 points against Booker’s 20. Anton delivered a massive 52-0 shutout against Dawson. Lenorah Grady put up 66 points on Lazbuddie’s 20. Nazareth absolutely dominated McLean 71-26. Springlake-Earth beat O’Donnell 54-20. Then we had the game that will be talked about for weeks: Borden County winning an INSANE 75-69 contest against Whiteface. Seventy-five to sixty-nine! Are you kidding me? Sands beat Whitharral 59-12. Ira won a crazy 76-72 game against Meadow in another mind-boggling offensive display. Klondike beat Wellman-Union 78-32. Petersburg won 60-13 against Southland. And Paducah shut out Spur 55-0.
Seriously, if you missed Week 5, you missed some incredible football. Now, we just gotta hold tight for the final score from Frenship at Amarillo Tascosa tomorrow. Tascosa is up 13-7, but anything can happen in the second half. That’s what we’re looking forward to, seeing how that one wraps up.
