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.

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.
Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.
Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti struck out a season-high eight batters over 6 1/3 innings. The only hit he allowed was Zach Neto’s third-inning solo home run.
Yordan Alvarez had two hits for the Astros, who remained three games ahead of Seattle for first place in the AL West.
