Game of the Week | District heavyweights Bushland, Shallowater meet
Here's a look at the best high school football games in the Lubbock area in Week 8. GAME OF THE WEEK Bushland (5-2, 1-0) at Shallowater (5-1, 0-0) 7 p.m. Friday, Todd Field History says the district title is on the line Friday. Since the UIL paired Bushland and Shallowater together in the same district in 2022, the winner of their matchup has gone on to finish first. The past two years, that's been the Mustangs — but it's been tight. Shallowater edged the Falcons 28-26 on the road last season, and the Mustangs won 21-20 in 2024. The lone Bushland victory as district foes was 35-3 in 2023. Dalhart (6-1, 1-0) will have its say, but Friday will be a huge piece to the district puzzle. The Falcons have won five in a row and scored at least 62 in four straight. Bushland opened District 1-3A Division I play with a 70-14 romp of Denver City last week. Shallowater was off. The Mustangs beat Plainview 34-10 before their open week to bounce back from their only loss. Idalou, ranked No. 1 in 3A D-II, topped Shallowater 46-35. The Mustangs have scored at least 31 points in every game, so
