AUSTIN, Texas - The Central Texas high school football season is going into Week 10!

FOX 7 FRIDAY FOOTBALL COVERAGE: Week 9 rankings

A pair of old traditional area high school football powers experiencing a bit of resurgence after some lean years are meeting this Friday night.

The 6-2 Pflugerville Panthers are hosting the 7-1 Bastrop Bears in a key district match-up with both coming off district wins.

2024 Week 9: Elgin vs Bastrop

In week 9, Elgin took on Bastrop on Friday night!

Bastrop, lead by sophomore quarterback Weston Nielsen, rolls into this match-up still undefeated in district play at 5-0 after a blowout win over a solid Elgin team.

Standing between the Bears and a district title is likely their two toughest games of the year: this week at Pflugerville, then next week at home against state-ranked Liberty Hill. That could be a battle of district unbeatens if Bastrop can win this week.

2024 Week 8: Liberty Hill vs Pflugerville

In week 8, Liberty Hill took home the win against Pflugerville, 35-28

Pflugerville's turnaround began last season. The Panthers lost their first six games of 2023, but since then, they're 9-4.

The Panthers' only two losses this season have come by a total of 10 points, including a good showing in a 35-28 loss to Liberty Hill.
