Must-see games

The Woodlands vs. Katy, Sept. 9, Woodforest Stadium:

The last time these teams played here, the Highlanders won 24-7. This is the best non-district rivalry in the Houston area.

Conroe vs. Oak Ridge, Sept. 23, Woodforest Stadium:

The winner will be looking good in a district opener between the two rivals.

The Woodlands vs. Lufkin, Sept. 30, Woodforest Stadium:

Both defenses are physical and aggressive. And both teams possess experienced and talented quarterbacks.

The Woodlands vs. West Brook, Oct. 7, Carroll Butch Stadium:

Catching the Highlanders at home will benefit the Bruins, but playing them after losing a large senior class will be challenging.
