Two undefeated teams in Texas high school football looked to boost its resume even further after Friday night.

In a game that featured more than 1,000 yards of total offense, it was Prosper - behind seven total touchdowns from quarterback Tyler Albert - that stayed perfect after outlasting Austin Westlake, 49-40, in a game that was delayed about an hour due to lightning.

Albert finished the night throwing for 359 yards on 19-of-32 passing and six TDs. He was also the leading rusher for the Eagles (3-0) with 88 yards on 16 carries with a TD. Albert's final TD pass came to Marcus McCoy on a third down play with less than two minutes left after Westlake closed to within two points.

Westlake (2-1) finished with 511 yards of total offense, while Prosper had 505. The Eagles also rushed for 146 yards, and of the Chaparrals' 511, all but 83 of those came through the air.

McCoy caught eight passes for 173 yards and three scores, while Elliott Brown added seven catches for 118 yards and two TDs for Prosper. Westlake quarterback Patton Jones was 24-of-32 passing for 428 yards and three TDs.

Westlake had broke into this week’s edition of the High School On SI Texas high school Top 25 rankings, as the Chaparrals came in at No. 23. Prosper came in unranked, but after Friday's result, the Eagles could find themselves in next week’s poll with their win against a team the caliber of Westlake.
