Houston Stratford vs. Aldine Eisenhower: This match up features two proficient quarterbacks with Andrew Luck (Stratford) and Kenneth Guiton (Eisenhower). Look for both of them to have plenty of passing yards. The game will come down to running game and defense. I think this one will come down to whoever has the ball last and who has the better defense. I’m going out on a limp with this one, but I’ll take the Eagles. Eisenhower by 3.
Aldine Nimitz vs. Spring Woods: Aldine Nimitz is undefeated and the Cougars’ ground game still proves to be very strong. With Marion Grice, Darius Celestine, and Michael Thomas, Nimitz has the edge offensively. Spring Woods showed some fight in recent games, but I think the Tigers are over-matched in this one. Aldine Nimitz by 21.
Aldine vs. Northbrook: Aldine is still looking for its first win and if there is any week to get one, it’s here. Northbrook has proven to give a few teams trouble this year, but there is too much talent on the Mustang squad. Aldine by 14.
Aldine Macarthur vs. Houston Memorial: Macarthur put a straight beat down on Spring Woods last week and now face a sound Memorial team. Both teams have offensives that can move the ball, but the Generals have a little more team speed. Look for this game to be close, but not too close. Macarthur by 10.
