Texas high school football: Five Houston-area games to watch in Week 8

As the calendar nears mid-October, the regular season is beginning to wind down. That means there will be plenty on the line throughout the Houston high school football scene this week. Here are five games to keep an eye on in Week 8. What to know: Madison has won four consecutive games, all in District 10-5A Division I action, since starting its season 0-2 against Clear Brook and Yates. The Marlins, looking to repeat as district champions, took care of business last week with a 48-8 victory against Chavez and have now outscored their league foes 187-44. Junior S.J.
