GAME OF THE WEEK: (Thursday)
6A #7 SOUTHLAKE CARROLL (1-0) at 6A #13 ROCKWALL (2-0)
If you like tons of offense, this is the game you want to watch this week. Carroll and Rockwall-Heath put up a combined 129 points last week (72-57 win for Carroll in their season opener), and this game easily could exceed that total. It features two of the top quarterbacks in the state in Rockwall Jr. Braedyn Locke and Carroll Jr. Quinn Ewers. Ewers threw for 389 yards and five TD last week. Dragons RB Owen Allen ran for 218 and four scores in the win over Rockwall-Heath. Rockwall stayed unbeaten with a 60-38 win over Dallas Jesuit. Locke was 18 of 29 for 283 yards and four TD. He has thrown for 655 yards and eight scores in the first two games of the season. Rockwall also got big contributions from RB Zach Hernandez (112 yards and a TD) and WR Caden Marshall, who had two TD receptions and also ran for a TD.

The Cowboys beat Sachse last week, 42-35. QB Ryan Walker was 19 of 32 for 348 yards and four TD. The Highland Park offense is now led by QB Brayden Schager.
