PRINT THIS PAGE | E-MAIL THIS PAGE Friday, September 25, 1998 Stanton seeks 20th straight victory By The Associated Press Stanton will travel 80 miles to Big Lake on Friday in search of its 20th straight victory. The match-up between the defending Class 2A state champions and Reagan County is one of the highlights of this weekend's high school football schedule in Texas. For the second straight week, sixth-ranked Spearman of Class 2A will take on the No. 6 team of Class A. Different teams, however. Last week, Spearman routed Sudan 56-6, dropping the loser three places in the Associated Press poll. The new Class A No. 6 team, and Spearman's opponent, is Wheeler. Killeen Ellison (3-0), ranked third nationally in one poll, plays Saturday afternoon at Marshall. Four other Class 5A teams are undefeated. Second-ranked Longview is idle, but No. 3 Katy plays Fort Bend Austin, No. 4 Lewisville is at South Grand Prairie and No. 5 Converse Judson is at Austin Westlake. Judson may have its hands full. Westlake took Killeen Ellison to the brink last week before falling 23-21. In Class 4A, top-ranked La Marque is finally getting some action after being idle the past two weeks, partly because of inclement weather. La Marque will take on Houston Forest Brook Friday night. Second-ranked Corsicana, coming off an exciting 14-7 victory over Waxahachie, is at Terrell. No. 3 West Orange-Stark is at Bridge City, No. 4 Andrews hosts Levelland, and No. 5 Stephenville is at Everman. Class 3A's top-ranked team, Breckenridge, is at Cisco on Friday night. Other games involving top 5 Class 3A teams are No. 2 Sweeny vs. Houston Wheatley, No. 3 Alvarado vs. Marlin, No. 4 Sealy vs. Bellville, and No. 5 Tatum vs. Sabine. In Class 2A, second-ranked Mart plays Blooming Grove, No. 3 Winters is at Goldthwaite, No. 4 Pilot Point at Lake Dallas and Fairfield is at No. 5 Italy. The top four teams in the Class A poll are unbeaten. Top-ranked Tenaha plays host to San Augustine, and second-ranked Iola takes on Giddings State School. No. 3 Aspermont will travel to Haskell, and No. 4 Era hosts Gunter.
