Sep 02, 2021

After great storylines coming out of the first week back for Texas High School Football last week, Week 2 has been highly anticipated. Fans can expect great competition this weekend throughout the state, but here we have some of the top games featuring Dallas-Fort Worth teams that you're going to want to keep your eyes on!

The Dragons are coming off of a big Week 1 win over Highland Park in which they proved that Quinn Ewers wasn't the key player on their team. Southlake has been bringing up great athletes for years and the first couple of weeks will give them a chance to showcase their talent. After a 45-21 win over the Scots with exceptional plays from new starting quarterback Kaden Anderson, the Dragons can be expected to put on an all-out show against Rockwall-Heath.

The Hawks enter Week 2 after a close, physical matchup with Keller Timber Creek in which Rockwall-Heath won 56-49. Quarterback Josh Hoover will step into the pocket ready to roll against Southlake Carroll on Thursday night, but it's Heath's defense that's going to have to step up to the challenge of slowing the Dragons' offensive game.

Previous meeting

The two teams met in 2020 where Southlake Carroll defeated Rockwall-Heath 72-57. Hoover threw for nearly 400-yards and accounted for four touchdowns last season. Anderson has yet to face a strong Rockwall-Heath defense, but with a seasoned offense, he just may look like a veteran quarterback.

THE TAKEAWAYS: 5 Storylines in Week 3

Lewisville one of the surprise teams in the area

Another week of Texas high school football provided another week of standout plays, big wins and some good old-fashioned trash talk between Houston and Dallas schools when North Crowley met Summer Creek.

For many teams, Week 3 was the final non-district game. Now, the hunt for the postseason officially begins.

Don’t have a win? At this point, even a team like South Oak Cliff is winless.

Three weeks into the season, the picture is taking shape — and district play is about to turn up the heat. Some of the region’s biggest names are trending upward, while a few familiar contenders find themselves searching for answers after difficult weeks.

DeSoto (1-2) re-enters the frame after a statement victory over Duncanville on Saturday afternoon, as the Eagles held on for a 21-20 win to close out their non-district schedule on a high note. Similarly, Prosper (3-0) soars back into the upper echelon of Texas football following an offensive shootout with Westlake, as the Eagles outpaced the Chaparrals, 49-40.
