MaxPreps Top 10 Texas High School Football Games of the Week

The two most dominant San Antonio-area programs brace for their annual face-off Friday when 3-0 Steele (Cibolo) hosts 3-0 Judson (Converse) in a District 26-6A opener.

Older Judson has more championship skins on the wall, winning six state titles from 1983-2002. The shared record for state titles by a school is eight.

Steele, which came along later and did not field a varsity team in 2006, won a state title in 2010 and was runner-up in 2011 and 2016.

Both teams are coming off shutout wins in Week 3. Friday's winner becomes the favorite to win the District 26 title. (MaxPreps Texas Top 25 ranking included)

Judson: QB Mike Chandler II (6-1, 183), RB De'Anthony Lewis (6-0, 195), WR Amarea Bailey (6-2, 172), LB Treylin Payne (6-1, 210), CB Keron Napoleon (5-10, 165).

Steele: WR/CB Jaylon Jones (6-3, 195), QB Wyatt Begeal (6-1, 186), RB Troy Gaddis (5-10, 152), WR Daryn McKnight (5-6, 161), DL/TE Christian Garza (6-1, 225).

Steele has won seven of nine meetings but Judson routed their District 26-6A rival 58-21 a year ago.

No. 21 Martin (Arlington) at No. 19 Rockwall

Martin: QB Zach Mundell (5-8, 150), RB D'Wayne Williams (5-6, 161), WR Cal Robinson (5-10, 170), LB Morice Blackwell (6-1, 196), DT Cooper Evans (6-1, 258).

Rockwall: WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (6-1, 195), QB Braedyn Locke (6-1, 180), RB Zach Henry (5-11, 195), FS Tyler Ashworth (5-9, 170), DB Corey Kelley (5-10, 180).

Rockwall (2-1) has been an offensive juggernaut so far, ringing up at least 50 points in all three games. The Yellowjackets scored 73 in the first meeting of the teams last year. Martin (2-0) began the season with an eye-opening victory at Lake Travis (Austin) then used outstanding special team play to defeat a very good Hebron club.

FB Marshall: QB Malik Hornsby (6-3, 180), WR Devon Achane (5-9, 170), LB Norman Baker (5-11, 180), DT Tristin Drones-Mouton (6-1, 251).

Marshall made it to the 5A-D2 state title game a year ago and outlasted Manvel 52-51 along the way. Manvel has done a commendable job of replacing 10 offensive starters lost to graduation and poses a real threat in this early District 11 showdown.

Grandview: QB/FS Dane Jentsch (5-11, 180), LB Michael Lehnhardt (6-0, 190), OL/DL Cole Cannon (6-3, 270), LB/RB Elijah Golden (6-2, 195), WR/S Austin Boyd (6-0, 180).

Malakoff: WR/DB Andreas Garrett (5-11, 170), QB Darion Peace (6-1, 190), RB/LB Keevy Rose (6-1, 184), DT/OL Zamir Ruiz (6-1, 245), WR/DB Nathan Jones (6-3, 210).

This is a rematch of the 2018 Class 3A D1 title game at AT&T Stadium won by Grandview 35-21. Grandview is currently No. 1 and Malakoff is No. 2 in MaxPreps' 3A D1 state ranking. The teams also met earlier in the 2018 season with Grandview at home winning 28-7.

Hays: RB Xavier Green (5-10, 170), LB Noe Santos (5-9, 190), QB Durand Hill (5-11, 155), DB Michael Boudoin (6-4, 180), LB Zachary Hobert (5-11, 180)

Anderson: QB Carsten Groos (6-4, 215), WR/DB Jordan Hood (6-1, 170), WR/TE Jason Sager (5-9, 165), DB/WR Kameron Langford (5-10, 170), MLB Aidan Thompson (5-10, 175).

Both teams are unbeaten going into District 25-6A play. With powerhouse programs like Westlake (Austin) and Lake Travis (Austin) ahead, a fast start makes the road to the playoffs a little easier to travel.

Prosper: DL Will Pendergast (6-1, 235), WR Hayden Metcalf (6-1, 175), OL Jake Majors (6-3, 290), QB/WR Tyler Bailey (6-0, 180), LB Aiden Siano (6-0, 240).

McKinney: QB Seth Cox (6-4, 185), FS Chanlor Johnson (6-2, 175), LB Cooper Frazier (6-0, 180), WR Isaiah Wallace (5-9, 170), DL Mitchell Tyler (6-5, 250).

The District 9-6A opener matches two surprise playoff teams from a year ago. Success from last year's first campaign in the state's largest classification has carried over to a 3-0 start for Prosper. McKinney is 2-1 with its only loss coming by two points to rival McKinney North.

El Campo: T/DT Devon Earls (6-0, 275), LB Matthew Van Gorp (5-10, 195), RB Charles Shorter, DE Cade DuBroc, WR/DB Tanner Oldag (5-10, 173).

Wharton: QB Donovan Krushall (5-9, 183), RB/LB Keijon Waddell (5-9, 182), WR/FS James Jones Jr. (6-2 195), WR/CB Joerell Davis (6-2, 170).

The Class 4A-D1 rivalry will be renewed for the 101st time. El Campo (3-0) has a commanding 72-24 lead in the series with four ties. But Wharton (1-2) on the road upended the Ricebirds last season, 27-21.

Post: QB, OLB Taytem Thetford (5-10, 162), QB/MLB Slayden Pittman (5-8), CB/RB Nathan McDaniel, CB/RB Ashton Jefferson (5-9).

Abernathy: QB Bryson Daily (6-1, 205), RB/FS Avery Clarkson (6-1, 160), WR/CB Jake Ayers (5-9, 140), LB/TE Danté Flores (5-11, 185).

Post, from Class 2A-D1, moves up a level when it travels to 3A-D2 Abernathy. In 2018, Abernathy advanced to the fourth playoff round. Both sides are 3-0.

Christoval: QB/CB Brayden Wilcox (5-21, 185), RB/SS Josh Fava (5-8, 180), WR/CB Beau Jolly (6-0, 180), LB/WR Luke Jolly (5-9, 180).

Cross Plains: RB/FS Cason Allen (5-8, 140), WR/CB Caleb Hernandez (6-0, 175), WR/SS Corey Proctor (5-11, 165), MLB Strait Oskins (5-7, 170).

After last week's rash of upsets in Class 2A-D2, the winner of this matchup between 3-0 clubs will be noted by poll voters.

Palacios: QB Anthony White, RB/MLB Gary Haynes, WR/CB Camron Polk (6-1, 150), DE/TE Jacob Guerrero.

Ganado: QB Kyle Bures-Guerrero, RB Ethan Guerra (5-9, 165), WR Riley Hurt(6-0, 140), LB/WR Cameron Bates (5-5, 160).
