NORTH LAMAR (1-6, 1-1) AT BONHAM (0-7, 0-2)
STADIUM: Warrior Stadium
KICKOFF: 7:30 p.m.
RADIO: 107.7 FM
LAST MEETING: at North Lamar 49, Bonham 12
PLAYERS TO WATCH: North Lamar - S/WR T.J. Shirley, S/WR Canyon Conley, RB Dakota Boles, LB Cody Daniel, TE Austin Parson, DT Matt Farmer, CB David Bozarth, QB/CB Tyler Walston. Bonham — QB Kyle Washington, WR Daine Dunlap, WR Chase Gregory, FS Josh Samford, RB Josh Price, OL Jonathan Cook.
NORTH LAMAR NOTES: This meeting marks the first time this season that the North Lamar Panthers are set to face a team with a worse record than their own. North Lamar picked up its first win of the season in a home game against District 10-3A foe Anna on Oct. 9. The Panthers’ district record currently stands at 1-1 after they suffered a home setback against Paris this past Friday...The Panthers enter this week’s game with a positive feeling about their passing attack after their senior duo of quarterbacks, Tyler Walston and Ryan White, combined to pass for 73 yards. That was North Lamar’s second-best passing performance of the season and trailed only the 75 yards of passing in Week 4 against Pleasant Grove. All 73 of the yards in this past Friday’s game went to senior Austin Parson, who now leads the team in receiving yards...Junior RB Dakota Boles continues to be a bright spot for North Lamar this season, as he has rushed for 800 yards and six touchdowns, including 142 yards against Paris this past Friday. He is now third in the Red River Valley in rushing yards, despite missing the first two games of the season due to an injury...On defense, senior S T.J. Shirley has been making big plays in the secondary and leads the team in tackles.
BONHAM NOTES: The Bonham Warriors have struggled through their 2009 campaign. The closest they have come to winning were eight-point setbacks against Whitesboro in a pre-district game and against Van Alstyne in their district opener...Dual-threat QB Kyle Washington has been their catalyst on offense, as he has passed for 707 yards, seven touchdowns and seven interceptions while also rushing for 546 yards and five touchdowns. Washington spreads the ball around and has connected with 15 receivers at least once this season. His leading receivers are Daine Dunlap, who has hauled in 15 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns, and Chase Gregory, who has six receptions for 122 yards and two touchdowns...RB Jeremy Smith is the team’s second-leading rusher with 36 carries for 138 yards.
PRAIRILAND (7-0, 4-0) AT CHISUM (5-2, 2-2)
KICKOFF: 7:30 p.m.
LAST MEETING: at Prairiland 30, Chisum 12
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Prairiland — QB Payne Schuelke, WR Tanner Connot, WR Zach McLamore, RB Randal Sessums, CB Justin Harris, LB Jay McKinney, RB Josh Esch. Chisum — QB Jeremy Eddington, QB/DB Sloan Moss, TE Tyler Jeffery, C Aaron Arnold, OL/DE Kyle Hasley, OL/LB Stephen North, WR/LB Kolton Porter.
GAME NOTES: This rivalry game has been lopsided in recent years. The Prairiland Patriots have topped the Chisum Mustangs in each of the past nine seasons by an average margin of 19 points. Chisum will aim to change that trend by picking up its first win over Prairiland since 1999 in an effort to stay in the hunt for a spot in the postseason...Much of the Mustangs’ hopes for a victory rest on the shoulders of senior QB Jeremy Eddington, who leads the team in rushing and passing. He is the top rusher in the Red River Valley in rushing yards with 1,153 and 16 touchdowns. He has also passed for 330 yards and two touchdowns. Chisum’s rushing attack is backed by T.J. Briscoe, Brian Glover and Sloan Moss, who each boast over 200 yards on the ground...Chisum will be opposed by the offense of the Prairiland Patriots, which has been balanced through four District 12-2A contests. Prairiland senior QB Payne Schuelke, who missed two pre-district games because of an injury, has passed for 718 yards and nine touchdowns. Senior RB Randal Sessums has handled the bulk of the running duties and is second in the Red River Valley with 1,028 yards and 13 touchdowns...Prairiland has shown the ability to put opponents away early in the game and has outscored its opponents 82-6 in the first quarter this season. Chisum performs well in the first quarter as well, outscoring opponents 65-37. The key quarter for the Mustangs will be the fourth quarter when they hold only a four-point advantage over their opponents.
CLARKSVILLE (3-4, 1-3) AT HOOKS (3-4, 3-1)
KICKOFF: 7:30 p.m.
LAST MEETING: Hooks 39, at Clarksville 21

GAME NOTES: Clarksville needs a win to keep its playoff hopes alive. The Tigers try to rebound from a 20-15 loss last week to visiting Chisum, while Hooks tries to rebound from a 42-20 thumping from Paul Pewitt…Clarksville sophomore QB H.B. Rosser leads the team offensively with 711 rushing yards on 120 carries and 10 touchdowns, and he’s passed for 358 yards (39-82-6) and three scores.

GAME NOTES: The Rivercrest Rebels earned their first District 12-2A victory of the season this past Friday in a home win over the DeKalb Bears. They chalked up most of their yardage on the ground. Junior QB Brady Kennedy ran for 115 yards, while junior RB Jordan White rushed for 171 yards. Both also rushed for a pair of touchdowns apiece. Kennedy also added 97 yards through the air, including a 71-yard strike to Kyle McCuller. Those yards allowed Kennedy to break the 1,000-yard mark for the season and he currently has 1,056 yards...This week will pose a greater challenge for the Rebels. The Redwater Dragons boast the second-best defense in the district in the category of points allowed to opponents. Redwater has allowed 78 points through seven games. Rivercrest, on the other hand, has surrendered 238 points...Redwater QB Hunter Flood ran for a touchdown and passed for a touchdown in this past Friday’s 20-14 loss to Prairiland.

GAME NOTES: Cooper is trying to forget last week’s 29-21 loss at Lone Oak and rebound this week with a homecoming win against an Alba-Golden Panther team that hasn’t won a game since they won back-to-back games to close out the 2007 season…Cooper RB Montrel Roberts has 627 yards rushing on 84 carries and scored five touchdowns, RB Pee Wee Jeffery has 63 totes for 419 yards and two scores, and QB Ty Huie has passed for 416 yards (37-93-6) and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 218 yards and three touchdowns, including two last week…Bulldog DB Jonathan McGraw leads the team in tackles with 44, while lineman Holden Jenkins has 36 tackles, including 11 tackles for loss and three sacks.

PLAYERS TO WATCH: Honey Grove - RB Zack Patt, OL/DL Chris Gilbert, QB Dillon Baugh, WR Courtland Finney, TE/LB Ben Caldwell. Howe — QB Chase Fountaine, RB Melvin Rodriguez, WR Phillip Wildman, WR Casey Davis, S Towner Bailey.
GAME NOTES: This will be the final home game of the season for the Honey Grove Warriors, and they will attempt to give their players a win for the last time on their home field. Home field advantage hasn’t been much of a factor for Honey Grove this season. The team is only 1-2 on its home field, including a 20-13 loss against Bells this past Friday...Honey Grove sophomore QB Dillon Baugh passed for a season-high 186 yards in this past Friday’s game. He and senior RB Zack Patt lead the team in rushing. Baugh has run for 395 yards and seven touchdowns, while Patt has run for 400 yards and five touchdowns...The Warriors will have to defend against both the rushing attack and passing attack of the Howe Bulldogs.

GAME NOTES: Detroit has been the surprise of District 17-A through two games against district opponents. Other teams are starting to take notice, but the Eagles will be able to make a firm push for a playoff spot if they are able to pick up a win over the Hawkins Hawks on Friday...Detroit relied firmly on the legs of Cray Dickerson, Chaz Dickerson and Deon Patt in this past Friday’s win over Big Sandy. All three ran for 100 yards or more...QB Ryan Gattis leads Hawkins’ aerial attack, while Fernando Gutierrez has been the team’s leading rusher this season.
