# Tascosa (3-0, 2-0) at Odessa High (2-1, 2-0), 7:30 p.m.: Tascosa must handle returning to earth after beating Amarillo High, a lengthy road trip and a quarterback named Teegardin. A bit too much on the Rebs plate. ... Odessa High 30, Tascosa 23.

Class 4A
# Palo Duro (0-3) at Hereford (3-0), 7:30 p.m.: This one seems easy to call on paper. Palo Duro hasn't scored in the first three quarters in either of its last two games, and Hereford has been rolling.

# Frenship (2-1) at Randall (0-3), 7:30 p.m.: Randall showed signs of progress under first-year coach Bryan Wood, finally producing on offense in a 31-24 loss to Perryton after not scoring in the first two games. ... Frenship 28, Randall 20.
# Perryton (2-1) at Pampa (0-3), 7:30 p.m.: Playing at Harvester Field on a new FieldTurf surface hasn't helped the Harvesters in their first two home games, as they've given up 100 points in losses to Borger and Big Spring. Pampa QB Alex Clendening had had two huge home games, throwing for almost 700 yards and nine touchdowns in those losses. ... Pampa 42, Perryton 38.
# Plainview (1-1) at Dumas (0-3), 7:30 p.m.: These two teams have struggled offensively. Dumas is averaging under 16 points a game while giving up 32 points while Plainview has scored only 15 points in two games. The good news is that Plainview has given up only 14 points. ... Plainview 14, Dumas 10.
