Franklin has improved a great deal since an early-season 25-point loss to Chapin and is starting to put things together on both sides of the ball. Montwood is coming off a close 27-24 loss to Coronado and is improving despite its record. Franklin 45, Montwood 31

San Elizario (4-2) vs. Austin (6-0), 7 p.m. Friday at Austin HS
Both teams had very successful non-district campaigns. Austin used a strong run game and talented defense to go 6-0. San Elizario has already won three more games this season in 2025 and is a playoff contender. Austin 31, San Elizario 20
Ysleta (5-1) vs. Riverside (4-1), 7 p.m. Friday at Riverside HS
What a fantastic game this will be. Ysleta has a talented offense led by QB Rodrigo Martinez and the Indians own solid wins vs. Big Spring and Fort Stockton. Riverside has impressive wins vs. Chapin and Seminole and is led by QB Carlos Rojas III. Riverside 52, Ysleta 49
Coronado (4-2) vs. Eastwood (4-2), 7 p.m. Friday at Eastwood HS

Fabens (2-4) vs. Clint (1-5), 7 p.m. Friday at Clint HS
Both teams have struggled to find consistency on offense. Clint has played a tough non-district schedule and it will rely on a tough defense. Fabens looks for a strong run game and big plays on special teams to be the difference. Clint 17, Fabens 14
Mountain View(2-4) vs. Irvin (2-4), 7 p.m. Friday at Irvin HS
The District 1-4A, Division 2 opener should be a tight one. Irvin has lost 22-20 to Austin and 14-13 vs. San Elizario. Mountain View lost 23-21 to Chaparral (NM) and 28-27 to Horizon. Should be a hard-fought game and will come down to which team executes more on offense. Irvin 28, Mountain View 24

Both teams had strong non-district performances, District 1-5A, Division 2 is an intriguing one and this game will go a long way in determining the district champ. Canutillo thrives on a strong run game and talented defense. Del Valle will lean on a strong passing game led by QB Eric Hernandez. Canutillo 31, Del Valle 24
Anthony (2-3) vs. Staton (1-4), 6 p.m. Friday at Van Horn HS
