This is probably Week Five's most intriguing area matchup. Considering that they have to turn around and play the district opener against a huge rival coming off last week's shocking 52-31 loss to Highland Park, how does Rockwall respond? Rockwall's high-powered offense had the ball for only 14 minutes last week against the Scots. Rockwall-Heath hopes to deal their rival a second straight loss.

Midway continues to search for answers after opening district play with a 24-21 loss to Waxahachie. Midway's first four opponents are a combined 12-4, and things don't get any easier with this week's trip to Duncanville, which gave HC Reginald Samples his 300th career victory last week in a 42-21 win over DeSoto. Samples is the first Black coach in Texas HS Football history to reach that milestone.
MANSFIELD LAKE RIDGE (0-4, 0-1) at WAXAHACHIE (3-1, 1-0) - 7:30 p.m. Friday

Longview struck a blow for the State of Texas last week, ending the 32-game win streak of Arkansas power Bryant High, 24-21.
