Central appears to be playing with the same discipline that helped the school reach the fourth round of the Class 4A state playoffs last season. The Jags had a plus-2 in the turnover ratio against Ball and are a plus-3 on the season. That's one sign of a team that plays with discipline.
Central won games last season with a grind-it-out offense that kept the ball out of the air and the other team's offense on the sideline. Few will forget the way Central stymied a high-scoring Friendswood team in a 20-19 playoff loss last season that was supposed to be a one-sided affair.
As for Kelly, the Bulldogs have looked good since the opening week loss against Class 4A Kelly. If nothing else, Kelly appears to be rounding into shape for a TAPPS district run that includes tough games against Houston Pius and St. Thomas high schools.
