La Porte will need to avoid looking ahead to the much anticipated Angleton rematch next week, and focus entirely on Crosby. Crosby is good enough--and motivated enough--to make them regret it if they make that mistake.

La Porte (4-0, 6-1) travels to Cougar Stadium to take on a surging Crosby Cougar team (4-0, 4-3) that's coming off a 57-0 shellacking of Fort Bend Kempner. The Cougars have been steadily improving each week, and are executing very well in all 3 phases of the game. They feature a fairly balanced attack with a very strong, opportunistic defense, and dangerous special teams. Jr. QB Robison is having a solid year behind an OL that's been giving him enough time to make some plays downfield. La Porte has become a team some may not recognize after line-up changes, and scheme additions. They are no longer simply a power run/misdirection team. They alternate QB's between Sr. Saenz, and Soph. Wells with solid passing game results. Teams that load the box to slow down the Bulldog rushing attack have paid the price by getting beat by an effective passing attack featuring TE Reynolds, WR's Smith and Godbolt-Carr, and RB's Simon and Ruffin out of the backfield. LP's defense has recorded a defensive TD in each of the last three games. Will the Dawgs lock their jaws, and clamp down on the Cats, or will Cat Scratch Fever take the night?

Week 4 District Scores: Crosby 57 Kempner 0 Angleton 67 Kingwood Park 13 Pasadena 0 Friendswood 77 New Caney Porter 21 La Porte 67 District Standings: Angleton (4-0) (7-0) La Porte (4-0) (6-1) Crosby (4-0) (4-3) New Caney Porter (2-2) (4-3) Friendswood (1-3) (3-4) Kingwood Park (1-3) (3-4) Kempner (0-4) (3-4) Pasadena (0-4) (1-6) Weekly Rundown: Week 4 is best described as the have's and the have nots. The top three teams remained undefeated, and cemented a PO spot with blowout wins against their competition. Angleton, La Porte, and Crosby will all advance to Bidistrict against 12-5AD1 competition. The District Championship, and seeding will be decided in these last three district games between the three. First up, La Porte will travel to Cougar Stadium to take on the resurgent Crosby Cougars. The Cougars are having a similar season to La Porte last year with 3 tough losses to begin the season against solid competition, followed by 4 straight district wins. They will enter the contest after coming off a shutout of Kempner, and are looking to pull off an upset of the Bulldogs to get a home PO game in the first round. La Porte will be looking to continue their district dominance--with their last district loss coming in early October of 2023--and stay on track for their third straight District Championship. Meanwhile, Angleton will face a Kempner team still looking for their first district win, and should remain undefeated. Another game with PO implications will be the Mustangs of Friendswood travelling to Randall Reed Stadium to take on the New Caney Porter Spartans. Friendswood must win out to take the 4 seed and make the PO's. If the games go as expected, New Caney Porter, Friendswood, and Kingwood Park will all be sporting 2-3 district records. This Week's Key Game - There are actually two key games this week. La Porte vs. Crosby at Cougar stadium will be a PO seeding game. The winner will keep pace with Angleton--who should have little issue with a Kempner squad at home. The second key game will be Friendswood at New Caney Porter, as it will be a must-win game for Friendswood to keep their PO hopes alive.
