Sterling at Channelview

When/Where: Today, 7 p.m., Maddry Stadium

Records: Sterling 2-6 (0-4 in District 21-5A): Channelview 1-8 (1-3)

Last year’s score: Sterling 35-26

Importance: Channelview is coming off its first win of the season, 36-30 over Port Arthur, and can still make the playoffs with a miracle ending. In order for the Falcons to get into the playoffs they must beat Sterling and hope that Lee beats PA Memorial. The Rangers, with no playoff shot, would love to play the spoilers in this game.

  PA Memorial at Lee

When/Where: Today, 7 p.m., Stallworth Stadium

Records: PA Memorial 5-4 (2-2 in 21-5A); Lee 3-6 (2-2)

Last year’s score: PA Memorial 13-10

Importance: Lee is already in the playoffs but the Ganders look for some postseason momentum with another win. If they pull out a win here and Channelview beats Sterling, there will be a tie for fourth place between Channelview and PA Memorial. The tie-breaker however goes to Channelview for beating PA Memorial last week.

Bay City at Crosby

When/Where: Today, 7 p.m., Cougar Stadium

Records: Bay City 1-8 (0-4 in 23-4A); Crosby 7-2 (7-0 in 19-4A)

Last year’s score: Did not play

Importance: This non-district game comes as a result of both teams having Week 10 byes. While Crosby’s District 19-4A champions are seeking an eighth straight win before starting the playoffs, Bay City is looking forward to basketball.

Buna at Anahuac

When/Where: Tonight, 7:30 p.m., Kyle White Stadium

Records: Buna 6-3 (4-1 in 23-2A): Anahuac 7-2 (4-1)

Last year’s score: Anahuac 38-13

Importance: Buna has won four straight district games and would like a five-game win streak to go to the playoffs. Since Anahuac has already grabbed the Division I playoff berth from 23-2A, this second-place tie-breaker does not affect playoff seeding.

Dayton at Austin LBJ

When/Where: Saturday, 2 p.m., Nelson Field

Records: Dayton 7-2 (6-1 in 19-4A), LBJ 5-3 (4-1 in 26-4A)

Last year’s score: Did not play.

Importance: Each team is seeking to go into the playoffs with a win. Long road trip for Dayton created by rare Week 10 district bye and desire for warm-up heading into postseason.



Mount Carmel at Baytown Christian Academy

When/Where: Saturday, 4 p.m., BCA football field

Records: BCA 2-7, Mount Carmel N/A

Last year’s score: Did not play.

Importance: The Bulldogs are celebrating their homecoming as they search for their third win of the season. Mount Carmel has won twice this year after ending a 35-game losing streak in October.
