Who: Carroll (4-1) vs. Lewisville (3-2)

When: Friday, October 7, 7:30 pm CT

Where: Lewisville High School

Breakdown: After a great week with 94 yards receiving, including a 65-yard touchdown, and 10 tackles in the Dragons huge 42-28 victory over Euless Trinity, Barnes looks to keep his mojo going on the road against the Fightin' Farmers of Lewisville.

Who: Anadarko (3-2) vs. Marshall (4-1)

When: Friday, October 7, 7 pm CT

Where: Marshall High School

Breakdown: Broiles and the Bears continue their march as one of 3A's most impressive teams in 2016 with a critical home conference game against Anadarko.

Who: Mansfield (3-2) vs. Arlington Martin (2-3)

When: Friday, October 7, 7:30 pm CT

Where: Martin High School

Breakdown: Fans can see Oklahoma's newest commitment Friday night at Arlington Martin High School, as Brooks looks to continue his hot streak of five-consecutive games of at least 180 yards rushing, four of which went for over 200 yards.

Who: Moore (3-2) vs. Union (4-1)

When: Friday, October 7, 7 pm CT

Where: Union High School

Breakdown: The best part of the trip for the Lions may be the movie they watch on the two-hour drive back to Moore. Brown and No. 2 Union are fresh off a 59-3 drubbing of Owasso and aren't likely to slow down this week at home.

Who: Catholic (4-1) vs. Mater Dei (5-0)

When: Friday, October 7, 7 pm PT

Where: Santa Ana Stadium

Breakdown: Calcaterra and the Eagles have been on a tear, winning their last four games by averaging 44.5 points per game. However, they will have their hands full with a neutral site showdown with one of California's top programs that has produced Heisman Trophy fwinners John Huarte and Matt Leinart.

Who: Hale (0-5) vs. Collinsville (3-2)

When: Friday, October 7, 7 pm CT

Where: Collinsville High School

Breakdown: The Cardinals have had somewhat of an up-and-down season after finishing as the 5A state runner-up a year ago, but should have no problem taking care of an overmatched Hale team.

Breakdown: Gumbs and 2-3 Stellar Prep will look to regroup with a week off after a three-game skid.

Who: West Charlotte (1-6) vs. Vance (5-1)

When: Friday, October 7, 7 pm ET

Where: Vance High School

Breakdown: Hall and Vance suffered their first loss of the season to A.C. Brown 24-21 on a late field goal, but will likely rebound this week with a struggling West Charlotte squad coming in for homecoming.

Who: Pattonville (3-4) vs. Ritenour (6-1)

When: Friday, October 7, 7 pm CT

Where: Ritenour High School

Breakdown: Hayes and Pattonville's lives don't get any easier taking on a Ritenour team that averages nearly 40 points per game a week after falling to Hazelwood Central 54-18.

Who: Shawnee (2-4) vs. Coweta (2-3)

When: Friday, October 7, 7 pm CT

Where: Coweta High School

Breakdown: The Oklahoma center commitment travels to the home of the Bryan brothers, Sooner defensive linemen for Barry Switzer in the 1980s, including the late All-American and first-round pick Rick Bryan.

Who: Port Lavaca Calhoun (3-3) vs. Richmond Foster (5-0)

When: Thursday, October 6, 7 pm CT

Where: Foster High School

Breakdown: Lamb and Foster probably resented their week off and are itching to continue their hot start to the season when they host the Sand Crabs of Calhoun, the alma mater of current Oklahoma running back, Daniel Brooks.

Who: Canyon (1-4) vs. Schertz Clemens (4-1)

When: Friday, October 7, 7:30 pm CT

Where: Clemens High School

Breakdown: It has been a rough start for Canyon, but a huge road win over Clemens would be a big feather in their cap. Mundschau has been getting more work recently, as the Cougar offense has started to show signs of life.

Who: Elkins (2-3) vs. Willowridge (2-3)

When: Saturday, October 8, 6 pm CT

Where: Fort Bend Willow Ridge High School

Breakdown: It will be a Saturday showdown of 2-3 Fort Bend schools looking to score a huge boost in conference play as we enter the back half of the schedule.

Who: Cedar Hill (3-2) vs. Irving MacArthur (0-5)

When: Thursday, October 6, 7 pm CT

Where: MacArthur High School

Breakdown: Look for Rambo and Cedar Hill to have a monster day as they travel to face a Cardinal team that has lost all five games this season by an average score of 44.0-11.8.

Who: Waxahachie (5-0) vs. Midlothian (1-4)

When: Friday, October 7, 7:30 pm CT

Where: Midlothian High School

Breakdown: If Reagor were to score fewer than two touchdowns, it would lower his season average. It would probably be unwise to count on that this week at Midlothian.

Who: Plano East (2-3) vs. McKinney Boyd (0-5)

When: Thursday, October 6, 7:30 pm CT

Where: Ron Poe Stadium

Breakdown: It has been a season to forget for the Boyd Broncos, but this week is as good as any to steal their first win of the season when they host Plano East Thursday night.

Breakdown: After throwing for three touchdowns and 258 yards on just 18 passes in a 63-35 win over Tyler Lee, Robison and the Jaguars have the week off.

Who: Kennesaw Harrison (5-0) vs. Sprayberry (4-1)

When: Friday, October 7, 7:30 pm ET

Where: Sprayberry High School

Breakdown: Sermon and Sprayberry have both seemed to grow stronger as the season has progressed, but they will have a tough test at home when they host one of the top teams in Georgia in the Hoyas from Harrison.

Who: ASA College (2-3) vs. Lackawanna C.C. (5-0)

When: Saturday, October 8, 7 pm ET

Where: Valor Field (Scranton, PA)

Breakdown: Sutton, fresh off 97 yards and two touchdowns on the ground in a win over Erie C.C., should continue to find success against an ASA defense that surrenders nearly 160 rushing yards per game.

Who: Memorial (2-2) vs. Skiatook (3-2)

When: Friday, October 7, 7 pm CT

Where: Skiatook High School

Breakdown: Despite a handful of tackles for loss, a pair of sacks, and a forced fumble by Thomas, the Chargers lost their second-straight game to the Claremore Zebras. Memorial will look to earn their stripes with a bounce-back win, and, more importantly, avoid a third-consecutive loss, against a Skiatook team that has a yet to string together back-to-back wins.
