There’s not a lot of movement at the top of the rankings. However, No. 1 Westlake and No. Lake Travis face off Friday at Cavalier Stadium. You may not know it, but there are a few other games we will be keeping our eye on this upcoming weekend.

As always, teams are ranked regardless of classification and picked by On the Sidelines Sports Executive Director Michael Adams.
| Rank | Team | Record | Prv. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Westlake | 3-0 | 1 |
| 2 | Vandegrift | 4-0 | 2 |
| 3 | Lake Travus | 4-0 | 3 |
| 4 | Weiss | 4-0 | 4 |
| 5 | Vista Ridge | 4-0 | 6 |
| 6 | Wimberley | 4-0 | 7 |

| 8 | Westwood | 3-1 | 5 |
| 9 | Cedar Park | 3-1 | 8 |
| 10 | Hays | 3-1 | NR |
Notable: The big game this week is Westlake at Lake Travis. Don’t expect two much movement for the loser of this game… Hays, a newcomer to the rankings is sneaky good and off to a 3-1 start. The Hawks picked up a District 12-5A-I win Saturday, defeating San Antonio MacArthur 28-14… Hendrickson (3-1) was open last week, but don’t expect the Hawks to be out of the rankings for long. The Hawks play Glenn (1-2) this Friday in the District 11-5A-I opener. A win should get Hendrickson back in the rankings…
Keep an eye on: Dripping Springs (2-1) blasted Austin High 59-0 in Week 4 and are 2-1. A big District 26-6A matchup against Bowie (2-0) is slated for Friday… Rouse (3-1) is also a team to keep an eye on. The Raiders are open this week before opening District 11-5A-II action on Sept. 29… Bastrop (3-1) got back on the winning track last week with a big win against Pflugerville. The Bears open District 13-5A-II action Friday at Comal Pieper (3-1).
