Gregory-Portland and Calallen have held up their ends of the bargain and have been on an early season collision course to this week.
The preseason No. 1 and No. 2 teams have dispatched their opponents and clash this week at Phil Danaher Stadium while Veterans Memorial and Rockport-Fulton have been quietly featuring stifling defenses to smother their first two opponents.
In the small school ranks, No. 1 Sinton will get a huge test as former district rival Cuero comes to town.
