Week 2 of Greater Houston high school football brought more clarity to the landscape as contenders began to separate themselves from the pack.
Ridge Point survived a scrappy challenge from Fulshear, showing resilience in a hard-fought win. The Panthers now turn their attention to a massive matchup against No. 3 Bridgeland in the VYPE Thursday Night Showdown, one of the most anticipated games of the young season.
Few players are hotter than Atascocita’s Cardae Mack, who is already making a strong case for Player of the Yearhonors. Mack once again delivered a dominant performance in a lopsided victory over perennial power Katy, further cementing Atascocita as a force to watch.
Meanwhile, Klein Collins made one of the biggest statements of the week with a commanding blowout win over highly ranked Willis, a victory that propelled the Tigers up the city’s rankings. Cypress Springs also earned its way into the Top 25 after another strong performance.
Across town, North Shore reminded everyone why it’s a championship-caliber program. The Mustangs’ defense pitched a shutout while quarterback Kaleb Maryland continued to shine, providing balance on offense.
In Class 5A, Dayton is trending upward with impressive early-season momentum, positioning themselves as a dark horse to watch.
On the private school stage, St. Thomas and The Woodlands Christian Academy (TWCA) headline the conversation. This week, TWCA squares off with No. 3 Lutheran South in what promises to be the Game of the Week.
With Week 2 in the books, the playoff picture is starting to take shape — and the best football is still to come.
