How Is Your Favorite High School Football Team Stacking Up After Week 3?

SAN ANGELO, TX – This weekend high school football will be filled with great matchups including the start of 5a and 6a football.

What Will the Bobcats Look Like? 

The Central Bobcats, led by senior quarterback Malachi Brown, will face off against Kileen Shoemaker. Last year Shoemaker and Central faced off against each other to start the year. Unfortunately for the Bobcats it was a tough first game and they lost big 54-21. What does this mean for this year? Last year was Brown's first full season leading the offense so it is expected that he be more confident with his game. In his first outing against Shoemaker, Brown had 300+ yards passing and around 75 yards rushing. He managed to score three touchdowns but he threw four interceptions. Now with more experience Brent Davis is looking for him to step up and have the game everyone is expecting. Also the Bobcats this year will have an extremely large and powerful defensive line and a variety of different running backs.

The Chiefs play Brownfield in Week 5. Last year they lost in a nail biter by one point on the road against the Cubs. This year they play at home, Brownfield is 0-3, and QB Albert Rodriguez has been looking better and better every week.
