FINAL: NORTH SHORE 55, CHANNELVIEW 6

Four-star Colorado committed defensive back/wideout Quanell Farrakhan Jr. housed a 68-yard punt return for TD early and North Shore didn't look back in a drubbing of 6A District 23 for Channelview.

North Shore, the nation's No. 8 team, moves to 7-0 ahead of a showdown with nationally ranked Atascocita, who is also undefeated on the season and in district play.

Farrakhan Jr., a four-year standout and transfer from The Woodlands, has been maybe the Mustangs' top playmakers this season.

The Mustangs are the No. 8 ranked team in the country and No. 3 overall team in Texas, behind No. 1 Duncanville and No. 2 North Crowley.

Last week, Kaleb Bailey passed for a few touchdowns and ran for one more in a 70-0win over district foe Goose Creek Memorialon Thursday. Devin Sanchez, the nation's No. 1 corner, and company have a winless district foe at home on Thursday.

North Shore boasts Devin Sanchez, the nation's No. 1 rated cornerback and an Ohio State commit and 4-star Colorado-committed wide receiver Quanell X Farrakhan Jr.

The Mustangs have three 200-plus-yard rushers, headline by Chris Thomas (282 yards, 5 TD), D'Andre Hardemann (252 yards, 3 TDs) and Bailey (220 yards, 3 TDs).

About Channelview (0-7):

It's been a less successful season for the Falcons, who are 0-7 coming off of a 41-19 loss to Kingwood in Week 7. Can Channelview slow North Shore's speed?
