The host Waco Midway will be led by all-state 4-star Commit DB to Baylor Ahmad Dixon and WR Levi Norwood. The always dangerous and LSG's favorite traveling team Edcouch-Elsa will always be competitive. Killeen Harker Heights went 2-1 last week and will be led by RB Kerry Sloan. Austin Bowie was 2-1 last week and will try to be the upset victor.
