Who will win this week in Central Texas high school football? Our predictions

Round Rock looks poised to secure a victory in their upcoming non-district matchup against Stony Point. The Rebels have a strong offense led by quarterback Dov Stickler and a dynamic receiving duo in Dylan Jaeger and Simon Sylvain. Stony Point, on the other hand, is coming off a convincing win against University High but struggled in a 51-45 loss to Bowie.

In the Westlake vs. Midland Lee game, Westlake enters with a bye week and aims to bounce back from a narrow defeat to Prosper. The Rebels boast an explosive offense spearheaded by quarterback JP Reyes and have proven capable of scoring frequently. Midland Lee, meanwhile, has demonstrated a solid offensive unit led by quarterback JP Reyes, who has thrown for 1,108 yards, 13 touchdowns, and three interceptions, complemented by a strong ground game.

Anderson enters its game against Boerne Champion as a dominant force. The Trojans have outscored opponents 123-43 through three games, with their defense stifling opponents. Boerne Champion, known for their potent offense, has outscored opponents 236-24, with sophomore quarterback Ryder Flugence leading the charge. While Anderson is a strong team, their road performance may not be enough to overcome Boerne's potent attack.

Round Rock is also set to host Stony Point in a crucial district matchup. The Rebels have won their last two games against Dripping Springs and Vandegrift, while Stony Point has had mixed results after a 45-21 win over University High. Round Rock's offense, led by quarterback Dov Stickler, and their balanced attack featuring Dylan Jaeger and Simon Sylvain, should provide a comfortable victory.

Bowie enters its game against Austin High as a strong district contender. The Bulldogs have scored over 40 points per game while holding opponents to 25.5, with running back Rhys Moreno leading the charge with 883 yards and 13 touchdowns. Austin High, however, has yet to secure a win, facing tough losses to Westwood and East View. For Austin to have any hope, star Ethan Kahle and a strong defensive performance will be required.
