COVER1 | Several District Openers Around the South Plains, Plus Homecomings in the Concho Valley

SAN ANGELO, TX — Today on LIVE!, the COVER1 Crew talks about the matchups between San Angelo Central and Waco right here in San Angelo Stadium. It's a homecoming for the Ozona Lions as they'll take on the Miles Bulldogs, and the Lake View Chiefs take on the Levelland Lobos.

Waco (2-2) at San Angelo Central (2-2) - 7 p.m. at Shotwell in Abilene

Chadwick—The Bobcats are riding a two-game win streak for the first time in two seasons heading into the matchup with Waco. The home atmosphere will help as the Bobcats take on another team that has struggled in previous seasons. English and the Bobcats should prove too much for the Lions on Friday night.

PICKS: Chadwick (15-5) - Central | James (10-10) - Waco | Paul (12-8) - Central | Nick (12-8) - Central | Lucas (11-9) - Central | Ernesto (6-14) - Central | Scott (11-8) - Central

Lake View at Levelland - 7 p.m. Friday - Lobo Stadium

Chadwick - The Chiefs travel to Levelland on Friday to play a Lobos team that is electric through the air. Both teams match up well on paper, and this game should be a good one. Lake View can win this contest if they do not turn the ball over.

Fort Stockton at Lubbock-Cooper Liberty - 7 p.m. - Patriot Stadium in Lubbock

Chadwick - The Lubbock-Cooper Patriots return home after a four-game road trip. Patriot Stadium was not complete before the start of the 2024 season but is finally ready for its debut. Liberty should be full of emotion and energy on Friday night. I think this is the week that this young football program gets its first win.

Miles at Ozona - 7 p.m. in Ozona

Chadwick - In this high-powered 2-A matchup, two of the better quarterbacks in the Concho Valley go head to head in a battle where whoever gets the ball last will likely be the winner. Backed up by talented runningbacks, Meade for Miles and Villareal for Ozona, the offense will be the name of the game.

Wall at Sweetwater - 7 p.m. Mustang Bowl - Sweetwater

Chadwick - Another tough test for the Wall Hawks this week when they hit the road to play the Mustangs. Wall had to make a last-second stand against Monahans a week ago and will need to play better to beat Sweetwater. Wall is missing some key pieces but should still be able to play at a high level.
