Ok, so that was a topsy-turvy weekend in Class 5A

Let’s start with No. 2 Shadow Creek, who has exploded onto the scene in its first “varsity” season. The Sharks took down Friendswood to remain undefeated in one of the toughest districts in the state.

No. 5 Angleton pushed around Foster, who dropped from the Top 10 ranks.

How about No. 6 New Caney, who has been a bit of a sleeper in 2018? The Eagles continue to climb the charts.

Say hello to Barbers Hill and Santa Fe. The Indians took down Crosby. Yes, Crosby. And Barbers Hill beat Vidor in a tough conference matchup.

No. 3 Magnolia West will have a huge game against Lufkin this weekend to see if they can hold onto their Top 5 ranking.
