Not A Good Opening Weekend For 2-5A Teams

Lubbock Coronado's 22-19 win over El Paso Franklin on Friday night ended up being the only win over a 5A oppononent in Week 0 for District 2-5A. District teams won only 3 of 10 games in the opening weekend of play. The five southern-most schools failed to win a Week 0 game, while being outscored by 201-79.

The most surprising loss of the weekend had to be Odessa High's 20-13, setback at the hands of El Paso Montwood. Permian is now 0 for 2 at San Antonio's Alamo Dome, following their 33-14 loss to Duncanville on Saturday, spoiling Head Coach Gary Gaines' return.

Amarillo's 56-0 pounding of 4A Canyon Randall, on the road, should be enough to serve notice to the other district teams that the Sandies are for real. Amarillo gets to prove its margin of victory was no fluke this Friday when they travel to Lubbock Coronado to open district play.
