PREVIEW: Undefeated Somerset hosts undefeated Beeville
Two undefeated South Texas teams are geared up to face off in a non-district battle. The Somerset Bulldogs host the Beeville Trojans looking to put on a Friday night show in front of a home crowd. VYPE takes a look at these two teams and dives into what fans can expect as they head into this Friday night matchup:
Beeville Trojans (3-0)
Beeville has been a dominant force this season. Posting three consecutive victories over strong opponents, this team has something special in them this season. Defeating rival Sinton (23-16), Orange Grove (41-33), and Robstown (49-27), the Trojans continue to march into stadiums, run through the tunnel, and leave their mark in every single moment of gameplay.
Led by a slew of athletes who are focused on creating challenges for each opponent, the Trojans head to Somerset on Friday night. Davyn Perez, Seth Gutierrez, Joshua Arroyos, Edward Brako, Elijah Sustaita, Beau Auzston, Darion Perez, Landon Briones, Austin Arredondo, and others have continued to be major playmakers for the Trojans as they topple opponents week after week.
Somerset Bulldogs (3-0)
Also a dominant force, Somerset has made it known that they aren't to be taken lightly. With three consecutive victories, the Bulldogs have overpowered their opponents allowing only 58 points against them combined this season. Week one saw a 49-21 dominance over San Antonio Southside while week two saw a closer, hard-fought 21-16 battle against San Antonio Central Catholic. Last week, Somerset traveled to Floresville and recorded a 42-21 victory.
Josiah Lugo, Ruben Moreno, Robert Spaulding, Jermiah Contreras, Jason Flores, Ray Faz, Jaden Faz, Zackary Serna, Brandon Kemp, Jensen Panchame, and others make up this season's squad of Bulldogs who have no quit. Fast-paced and quick to set the tone, this team is going to do whatever it takes to give Beeville a run for their money on Friday night.
What To Expect
Both teams will have high energy headed into this second-to-last non-district matchup. Last season, Somerset posted a 43-22 victory over the Trojans and will look to dismantle Beeville on Friday night. Beeville, however, is a host to a special sophomore class mixed with strong upperclassmen leaders. The Trojans aren't going to go down without a battle. A clash of the undefeateds is something fans aren't going to want to miss. Expect a back-and-forth battle between both of these teams as both strive to remain at the top of the world.
Kick-off is slated for 7 p.m. at Somerset High School.

BOYS BASKETBALL RANKINGS
5A-6A: Stony Point stays at the top with another undefeated week and may end up staying here as we head into playoffs. The biggest matchup of the week happens tonight when San Marcos and New Braunfels battle for the top spot in district 27-6A.
1A-4A: No Changes here but Pleasanton and Somerset will matchup this week. Last time Somerset lost by 7. Can they avenge that loss and climb up the rankings?
Private School: Some losses by the top teams this week, but nothing changes as we still feel they are the top teams in the region.
GIRLS BASKETBALL RANKINGS
5A-6A: Only one change here as Brennan defeated Harlan last week in a close contest. Harlan dropped to 9, but that's not a testament to their loss and more so to just how good the top 10 is here.
1A-4A: No changes here as Boerne and Fredericksburg still look like the teams to beat here.
Private School: Antonian drops a game but still remains at number 1. I'm keeping my eye on Geneva though. They could be taking over that 1 spot soon.
