Class 6A No. 9-ranked Euless Trinity welcomes Midland Lee to town Friday night.

The Trojans feature one of the top players in the country in John Meredith III.

The junior cornerback is the No. 5 recruit in the Class of 2027, according to 247Sports. He’s the No. 1 cornerback in the country and the No. 2 recruit in Texas.

He currently has 40 offers and will go wherever he wants when he decides. 

Out of 100 on 247Sports Composite, Meredith III has a score of .99986.

That means he’s pretty damn good. 

The Trojans also have a pair of current D-I recruits.

Offensive lineman Pupunagatoa Katoa is committed to SMU. Running back Juntavious “JT” Harris is headed to Texas State.

The two teams met twice last year, with Trinity winning in Week 2, 63-45 and then winning in the playoffs, 52-22.

What to know?

Midland Lee was actually Midland Legacy last year. The board of education voted to return to Midland Lee in August, according to an article on the Texas Tribune. The name change takes effect in the 2026-27 school year, but the Rebels have helmets that say Lee in this game.

The high school was named after Robert E. Lee, but was changed 5 years ago.

For the third time, Midland tries an onside kick. Trinity's Jaylon Donaldson swats it out of bounds like he's Dikembe. (Google that if you don't know what I mean)

TURNOVER! Trey Jefferson with a pick for Midland Lee. 7 seconds left in 3rd. Ball will be at the Trinity 42-yard line but the guys in black and white are talking.

Unsportsmanlike on Midland Lee. Ball goes back to the Rebels' side of the ball. Penalty post possession change.

4th quarter

TOUCHDOWN: 35 seconds into the 4th, Zorian Palmore with a 46-yard TD run and the Trojans extend the lead. 28-10. 11:25 to play

Great rendition of "I Want It That Way" by the Euless Trinity student body after the song ended coming out of a timeout break.

Meredith just broke up a play at the goal line, but the top recruit is still down in the end zone. 8:30 to play

Rebels hanging round. Reyes to Nic Moore goes for 38 yards. Roughing the passer on the play gives the Rebels the ball at the 1.

TOUCHDOWN! Moore with 1-yard TD run. 7:58. Trinity up 28-16 now. Lee going for two

Caleb Adom with PBU on 2-point conversion for Trinity. Still 28-16.

Midland Lee calls a timeout before kickoff. I'd assume it's an onside kick because that is all they have done tonight.

Saood Elhussein recovers the onside kick for Trinity. 7:44 left and the ball at midfield for the Trojans.

Midland gets the ball back with 5 minutes to go

Reyes to Moore for 18-yard gain. Ball at the Trinity 41. The Rebels are hanging around

Jinxed it apparently. INT by Chayce Davis with 4:13 left. Trojans ball at the 17-yard line. I'd imagine a few runs and get out of here before a storm hits

Lee calls a timeout with 2:05 to play. And just saw a lightning strike to the south of us

33-yard pass by Lineweaver to Feifia

Victory formation. 1:30 and running. That'll do it

FINAL: Euless Trinity 28, Midland Lee 16

RECAP

Dixon had a pair of touchdowns on 61 yards rushing to help Trinity move to 2-0 on the year.

A safety-turned-running back, he scored on the Trojans' first possession and added another score in the second quarter.

The Trojans got a third-quarter touchdown pass from Mack LIneweaver to Brendon Cary, which made it 21-3 at the time.

Lee had the ball down by 12 with 5 minutes to go but turned the ball over.
