Allen is still sitting pretty at the top of the USA TODAY Sports Super 10, staying undefeated at 5-0 after a week where many of the state’s top high school football programs had a breather. Now that teams are back on the field, though, all eyes are on one absolute barnburner coming up this Friday: the No. 2 team takes on the No. 3 team, and the winner is gonna make a massive statement.
Allen’s Got That Untested Swagger
Seriously, Allen is just straight-up rolling. After that tough season opener against Duncanville, where they really had to pull away late, they haven’t faced a real challenge since. Their sophomore quarterback, Ty Snell, is dealing, completing a ridiculous 74% of his passes for 1,026 yards and a whopping 15 touchdowns. And who’s he throwing to? Zach Williams, another sophomore, who’s already hauled in 337 yards and seven touchdowns on 25 receptions. That’s a serious connection. They’re 5-0 for a reason, and they’re looking to keep that perfect record alive this Friday, October 9, against McKinney at 7 p.m. CT.
The Friday Night Lights Clash That Matters
Alright, forget everything else for a second, because Friday, October 9, at 7 p.m. CT, we’ve got a game that could literally reshape the top of the rankings: No. 2 Waxahachie going head-to-head with No. 3 North Crowley. Talk about must-see football!
Waxahachie, also 5-0, blew any doubts out of the water early in the season, and they’ve been absolutely lights out in their last two outings, dropping 63 points and then 61 points before their bye week. Their quarterback, Jerry Meyer III, who’s committed to South Carolina, is an absolute machine. He’s completed 70% of his passes for 1,421 yards and 16 touchdowns, with only two picks. That’s efficiency, people.
On the other side, North Crowley, also sitting at a perfect 5-0, is bringing the heat with their own formidable trio. Quarterback Jacob Torres has been solid, hitting 67% of his throws for 877 yards and nine touchdowns. But their ground game is where they really smash, with running backs Kiante Ingram and G’Yrell Smith combining for an insane 1,019 yards and 16 touchdowns. This isn’t just a game, it’s a statement.
And while those two prepare for battle, don’t sleep on some of the other teams tearing it up. North Shore is 6-0, building their success on a punishing ground game with 1,495 yards and 17 touchdowns, plus a relentless defense that’s pitched three straight shutouts. Then you’ve got Randle, who are 4-0 and practically playing a video game, averaging 79.3 points per game in their last three wins. Texas five-star running back Landen Williams-Callis is a huge part of that, with 796 yards and 15 touchdowns in just those three games. Guyer, after an early loss, has turned it around, especially with junior QB Carter Morgan throwing for 296 yards and four touchdowns in their last 51-7 win. And Prosper, 4-1, outside their loss to Allen, is averaging 54.5 points in their four victories, with senior QB Tyler Albert playing lights out.
So yeah, Allen’s still the king of the hill, but that Waxahachie vs. North Crowley game? That’s the one to circle. Who’s gonna walk away with that undefeated record and a huge bump in the rankings? We’re all gonna find out this Friday. Get ready, because October just started and the action is already insane.
