>> Notes: Both teams fell in heartbreaking fashion last week... Midland High scored first, but DeSoto reeled off 48 straight points to put the game out of reach... Midland Lee turned the ball over four times, missed a field goal and missed a key fourth-down conversion against Rockwall... Midland Lee is still rotating Tyler Wilke and Jace Edwards at quarterback, but the Rebels only threw the ball 7 times last week... The Rebels' offense is centered around running back Jarven Roberson, who gained 137 yards last week but fumbled twice... Defensive back Adrian Pertile is a threat both as a receiver and returning kicks... Midland High gave up 447 yards to DeSoto, the most allowed by any defense in District 2-5A... Midland High has its own quarterback competition between Blake Stewart and Jack Bolger... Bolger totaled 166 yards on eight completions against DeSoto, Stewart had 100 yards on seven completions... Running back Darius Miller picked up 53 yards on 14 carries last week.

Quarterback Marcus Stockton added 94 yards on 10 carries, and power back Jacob Burton picked up 55 yards... Amarillo's rushing attack gave the Sandies the No. 1 offensive output in Week Zero with 479 total yards... 382 of those yards came on the ground...

Coronado quarterback Chris Camp racked up 355 yards and three touchdowns in the passing game and added a rushing touchdown... Shaney Wilkinson was the main recipient of Camp's passes, catching 13 passes for 197 yards...

The Plainsmen de-fense also got into the action, holding Plainview to nega-tive yards rushing through three quarters and allowing just 132 total yards on the night ... The Rebels, looking to get back to the playoffs after a year away, got a strong performance from quarterback Dalton Brooks, who finished 14-of-22 for 120 yards and two touchdowns in the victory over Palo Duro. Running back/defensive back Tanner Dennis saved the Rebels on both sides of the ball as he scored a rushing touchdown and then made a tackle and interception with less than five minutes to play to seal the victory.
