PREGAME
- Live from the Galena Park ISD Stadium, it’s a huge matchup in Texas as the state’s top-ranked team, North Shore, welcomes in No. 16 ranked C.E. King in a 17-6A showdown.
ABOUT C.E. KING
The Panthers (6-1, 4-0) have won five straight games since dropping a 31-28 decision to Cypress Ranch in the second week of the season.
All five games during their current winning streak have been by decisive margins, the latest a 70-6 win against Humble on Oct. 9. They were off last week.
ABOUT NORTH SHORE
The Mustangs, the defending UIL 6A Division I state champions, haven’t missed a beat in 2026. They have aced all seven games they have played thus far, including their first four district contests.
But the Mustangs have been tested quite a bit. Especially their last game, when they rallied late for a 28-27 win against Humble Summer Creek on Oct. 9 before they had last week off.
In September, North Shore also rallied in the second half for a 27-17 win against Louisiana power John Curtis Christian, and also edged Dallas-area power South Oak Cliff, 23-21.
