HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The Houston area saw plenty of great high school football unfold as district games began heating up this season.

Check out recaps of the bigger games on ABC13's radar:

• North Shore vs. Summer Creek: Both schools entered the game undefeated, but North Shore's Kaleb Bailey was the difference-maker by scoring a touchdown with a little over six minutes left to play, giving the Mustangs the lead for good. North Shore came out on top, 31-21.
• St. Thomas vs. San Antonio Central Catholic: St. Thomas, which is the No. 1-ranked private school in the state, improved to 6-0 on the season. Kansas State baseball-commit, Donte Lewis, threw a couple of touchdowns to Luke Edgecomb and added another on the ground. Vanderbilt-commit Johann Cardenas also had three rushing scores in the Eagles' win.
• St. John's vs. Episcopal: Episcopal suffered its first loss of the season in a real thriller. The Mavericks' Cole Allen ran for 276 yards and four touchdowns. The Knights scored with eight seconds to go but were stuffed on the potential game winning two-point conversion. The Mavs won, 33-32, giving head coach Kevin Veltri's squad a 2-0 record in the district.
• Fulshear vs. Friendswood: The Fulshear Chargers muscled their way past Friendswood much in the same way their head coach, Nick Codutti, showed off his arms in his sleeveless game attire. Fulshear improved to 5-0 after gaining more than 500 yards rushing. Davion Godley ran for 206 yards and three touchdowns, while teammate Patrick Broadway II added 173 yards and two scores.
• Willis vs. College Park: The Willis Wildkats are 7-0 on the season after a dominant 56-17 win. Jermaine Bishop Jr. opened the game with a 99-yard touchdown return.

• Westfield vs. Nimitz The Mustangs handed the Nimitz Cougars their first loss of the season and improved to 2-0 in the district. Rice-commit Taji Atkins ran for 193 yards and two touchdowns. Westfield faces Eisenhower next.
• Eisenhower vs. MacArthur: Ike's new head coach, Odell James, got gets his first-ever district win as his Eagles defeated MacArthur High School, which was where James played and made a name for himself as a quarterback.
• Dickinson vs. Clear Falls Head coach John Snelson's Dickinson Gators are winners of five straight games, including two in the district. You certainly can't spell Dickinson without a "d," and the team's defense - which boats JaMarcus Anderson, Kanye Armstrong, and Adolfo Cruz - held Clear Falls to just 125 total yards.
• Ridge Point vs. Fort Bend Elkins: The Ridge Point Panthers have also won five in a row as the Drummer brothers, who are also known as the "Twix Brothers," are a part of triplets that accounted for three scores.

• Texas City vs. Fort Bend Marshall The Stingarees' Rickey Green provided the play of the game with a 95-yard pick-six late in their game. He also had a fumble recovery for Texas City (5-1).

Elsewhere, Worthing is tied with Yates at 3-0 atop district 4A-11, Division 1. The Colts next face North Forest, Furr, and Washington before the final game of the season against Yates that could decide the district championship.
