David Ash, Belton quarterback -- In a back-and-forth contest with Austin High, Ash completed 30 of 41 passes for 460 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception in a 66-63 loss. Game recap here.

Malcolm Brown, Cibolo Steele running back -- In a 24-10 win over Round Rock, Brown carried the ball 15 times for 193 yards and two touchdowns.

Joe Bergeron, North Mesquite running back -- The workhorse running back got off to a fantastic start in Week 0 with 22 carries for 277 yards and continued his production with 38 carries for 196 yards and a touchdown in a 17-7 victory over North Garland. Don't sleep on Bergeron as a guy who could become the next short-yardage tailback at Texas -- he has some serious talent as a running back with good speed and excellent feet for his size.

Jaxon Shipley, Brownwood wide receiver -- After failing to put up spectacular receiving numbers in Week 0 due to double and triple coverage, the younger Shipley broke free in a 37-7 win over Graham with eight catches for 105 yards and a touchdown. He also added a 58-yard punt return. In case you missed it last week, video of his two punt returns for touchdowns is here.

Miles Onyegbule, Arlington wide receiver -- Playing quarterback this season, Onyegbule struggled a bit more than he did in Week 0, throwing two interceptions while completeling 12 of 22 passes for 151 yards and two touchdowns.

MJ McFarland, El Paso El Dorado tight end -- Five receptions for 42 yards and a touchdown in a 54-7 blowout over Lubbock Coronado.

Quandre Diggs, Angelton athlete -- The younger brother of Quentin Jammer scored the game-winning touchdown with 55 seconds left in the game to beat Brazosport, 27-24. Diggs carried the ball 17 times for 133 yards and added another touchdown in the victory.
