Both teams are 7-1 and 2-0 in district play. Shallowater beat Brownfield 63-0 last week, and Dalhart rolled past Denver City 52-6. The Blitz on KLBK picked it as its Game of the Week.
The rest of week 10 carries real weight too, with teams across Lubbock and the South Plains chasing district titles and playoff berths in the final stretch of the regular season. Monterey travels to Peoples Bank Stadium to face Frenship at 7 p.m. In 5A-Division I District 2. The winner could grab the fourth seed and sit in the driver's seat for a playoff spot.
Lubbock High welcomes Amarillo High to Lowrey Field at 7 p.m. The Westerners are 2-3 and fighting for playoff positioning, while the Sandies are 5-0 and trying to lock down the top spot in the district.
A few of these results will shape who plays in November. Coronado is the only Lubbock ISD school playing outside the Hub City, heading to Abilene Cooper to chase its first win in 5A-Division II District 2. Lubbock-Cooper hosts Wichita Falls Memorial at Pirate Stadium. Scores and highlights run on The Blitz at 10:15 p.m.
Lubbock High has not beaten Amarillo High since 1973.
