This came into focus this weekend in the Class 5A ranks.
There were some hotly-contested, city-wide slugfests around the Greater Houston-area. Previously No. 2 Crosby, No. 4 Friendswood and No. 8 Lamar Consolidated took tumbles in close games against great competition.
Crosby lost to Port Neches-Groves in an instant classic, Foster knocked off Friendswood 28-20, while Lamar Consolidated hung tough against A&M Consolidated in a losing effort.
How about a big win? New Caney beat state-power Port Arthur Memorial 38-21.

The Texans defense came through once again on Sunday, as they were able to hold the Dolphins to just twelve points, helping to secure a 20-12 win for Houston.
Sunday's victory, paired with a Colts loss, also clinched another division title for Houston, which guarantees they'll host a home playoff game. This is significant because Houston has played much better at home, and given some of the NFL's best quarterbacks fits.
However, the offense just hasn't clicked consistently this year, for a variety of reasons.
With all this in mind, how far can this defense take the Texans?
