: Harleton’s Taber Childs breaks a tackle against Beckville.

Kilgore (1-1) vs. Alvarado (0-2)

When/Where: Tonight, 7:30 p.m., Charles Head Stadium, Alvarado

Quick hits: The Kilgore Bulldogs avoided an 0-2 start to the season with a resounding 26-7 win over the Terrell Tigers last week. The Bulldogs got a 200-yard rushing performance from talented tailback Trayveon Epps. Alvarado has found the going tough its first two weeks of play, losing decisively to Graham (50-14) and last week to Decatur (47-0). This is the first meeting between Kilgore and Alvarado.

Up next: Gladewater at Kilgore; Alvarado at Kaufman

No. 5 Gilmer (2-0) vs. Atlanta (0-2)

Quick hits: The Gilmer Buckeyes remain road warriors in this week three tilt against a winless Atlanta Rabbit outfit. Gilmer has rolled to a 55-41 win over Gladewater to kickoff 2020 and followed that with a hard-fought 22-20 decision over Henderson last week. Atlanta, in contrast, has started slow with a 16-6 setback against Daingerfield in the lidlifter two weeks ago and lopsided 40-21 loss to Paul Pewitt in week two.

Up next: Lindale at Gilmer; Atlanta at Liberty-Eylau

No. 7 Gladewater (1-1) vs. Center (1-1)

When/Where: Tonight, 7:30 p.m., Roughrider Stadium, Center

Keep an eye on

Gladewater: QB Tristan Holmes (16 of 28 passing, 493 yards, 5 TDs, 2 INT) … RB Malachi Gordon (24 carries, 137 yards, 2 TDs) … RB Eli Carter (6 carries, 103 yards, 1 TD) … WR DJ Allen (10 receptions, 367 yards, 4 TDs)

Quick hits: After suffering a couple tough season-opening setbacks, both Gladewater and Center bounced back emphatically with big wins in week two. The Bears posted 21 points in both the first and third quarters on their way to a 66-21 shellacking of Spring Hill. The Roughriders dropped a wild 63-62 loss against Tatum to start the year and rebounded with a surprising 48-0 shutout of Jefferson last week.

Up next: Gladewater at Kilgore; Chapel Hill at Center

No. 3 Daingerfield (1-1) vs. Sabine (2-0)

When/Where: Tonight, 7:30 p.m., James Bamburg Stadium, Liberty City

Keep an eye on

Daingerfield: QB Zaylon Jeter (25 of 51 passing, 380 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INT; 19 carries, 63 yards, 1 TD) … RB Jayden Wallace (15 carries, 74 yards) … RB Dee Lewis (20 carries, 71 yards) … WR Coby Wright (7 receptions, 162 yards)

Quick hits: The Sabine Cardinals welcome in the state-ranked Daingerfield Tigers for what should be an entertaining contest. The Cardinals tote an unblemished 2-0 mark into battle, while the Tigers were shocked last week in a 17-8 upset loss against Tatum. Sabine is satisfied with ball-control and grind-it-out. Daingerfield possesses the ability to strike fast and quick. The Cardinal defense has proven stout in wins over Spring Hill and West Rusk. The Tigers, however, will be their toughest challenge to date.

Up next: Elysian Fields at Daingerfield; Sabine at DeKalb

Liberty-Eylau (0-1) vs. Jefferson (1-1)

When/Where: Tonight, 7:30 p.m., W.F. Lockett Stadium, Jefferson

Quick hits: The Jefferson Bulldogs are anxious to get back out on the field after being decimated last week against the Center Roughriders. The Bulldogs were shutout 48-0 after opening the year with a win over Pittsburg. Malik Brasher, who rushed for 173 yards in the opener, was limited to minus two yards against Center. Jefferson relies on big-play wideout Christan Shepard to stretch the field. Liberty-Eylau was off last week after losing its opener to Henderson, 21-12. The Leopards should be well-rested.

Up next: Atlanta at Liberty-Eylau; Hooks at Jefferson

Quick hits: Harmony was staring at an 0-2 start before rallying for a wild 38-34 win over Hughes Springs last week. The Eagle defense has surrendered 68 points through the first two weeks of action. New Diana, in stark contrast, has found the end zone just once in losses to New Boston and Redwater. Diana’s birds are still searching for their first win under new coach Clark Harrell.
