THE RANKINGS: Randle, Klein Collins, CE King steal show in Week 5
HOUSTON – Week 5 of the high school football season brought some heavyweight clashes across the Houston area, shaking up the landscape as teams push deeper into district play.
It all began under the lights of the VYPE Thursday Night Showdown powered by the Daspit Law Firm, where Class 5A No. 1 Randle outlasted No. 3 Iowa Colony in a 49-42 thriller. The defending state champions proved their pedigree in an instant classic, trading blows before sealing a statement win that reaffirms their top billing.
In Klein ISD, the showdown between unbeatens did not disappoint. Klein Collins edged rival Klein Bearkats 36-30, vaulting the Tigers to No. 7 in the city rankings.
Meanwhile, No. 11 CE King put on an offensive showcase, stunning Atascocita 70-55. Running back Dionne Sims, a Tulsa commit, exploded for a monster night, proving nearly unstoppable out of the backfield.
Elsewhere in 6A, Dawson delivered drama, knocking off Shadow Creek in a double-overtime thriller to earn a spot in this week’s rankings. Nimitz also climbs into the Top 20 after an impressive start.
The 5A slate had its own fireworks. Montgomery toppled Dayton in a Top 10 matchup, while Santa Fe and Kingwood Park also earned spots in the latest poll after strong performances.
On the private school scene, Concordia Lutheran has surged into the Top 5. The Crusaders continue to roll, while perennial power Episcopal has slipped after another tough loss.
With Week 6 looming, the Houston football picture is starting to come into focus—but as last weekend showed, nothing is set in stone.

THE RANKINGS: Bishop check-mates The Woodlands; Randle dominates
It was a lighter weekend across the Houston area as several districts enjoyed a bye before opening district play.
The headliner came in Willis’ 42-30 rivalry win over The Woodlands, where Texas Longhorn commit Jermaine Bishop Jr., showed off his full arsenal. Playing quarterback, running back, and even wideout, Bishop was a one-man highlight reel. And that’s before you even mention what he does on defense. The victory puts Willis firmly in the driver’s seat for the district title, with College Park looming in the weeks ahead.
Meanwhile, how about the Waller Bulldogs (3-1)? They stunned Top 10 Cypress Woods in a one-point thriller, a statement win that rockets Waller into the Top 25 rankings.
In Class 5A, the story was Randle’s dominant win over Fort Bend Marshall, sending a clear message to the rest of the state.
