The No. 13 Austin Westlake Chaparrals (2-1) defeated the No. 8 Atascocita Eagles (2-1) 35-28 in a top-25 Texas high school football showdown on Friday at Atascocita High School.

Westlake quarterback Rees Wise threw for 187 yards and two touchdowns, and he scored the game-winning touchdown on a run in the fourth quarter.

Atascocita was without its top playmaker, quarterback Cardae Mack. Senior CJ Toney played well in his absence. He had three rushing touchdowns for the Eagles, including two for over 60 yards.

The Eagles had two critical fumbles in the fourth quarter. They fumbled and then allowed the Chaparrals to drive the length of the field for the game-winning touchdown. The Eagles second-string quarterback, Isaiah Rasheed, was stripped by the Chaparrals defense on their final drive, and the Chaparrals then knelt down to win the game.

Both teams are ranked in High School On SI's Texas high school football top 25 rankings.
