13-5A DISTRICT INSIDER |
|
Three of the big dogs were idol during Zero Week but now will be playing
their first game of the 2008 season. Two of the three will be playing
teams that already have a game under their belt and it should be
interesting to see if that will have any say so in the outcome of the
game. |

Westfield vs Cy Falls- Now does this game really need a paragraph
explaining anything at all? I don’t think so but just in case you were
out last season Cy Falls won an absolute thriller of a game in a
shoot-out! This game should be no different but you never know in Texas
high school football. If you are able to make it out to Leonard George
Stadium on Thursday you should be in for a real treat. |
|
Klein Forest @ Langham Creek- The Golden Eagles traveled all the way to
Ohio and absolutely dominated Warren Howland only giving up 34 rushing
yards and 137 yards overall defensively. Langham Creek threw for 359
yards vs Spring but the Klein Forest secondary should be alot better. |
|
Klein Oak vs Cy Creek- Last year this game was T-Rob's breaking out
party. Now that he is gone to Ann Arbor what new Panther will step up
and be the go to playmaker that Klein Oak will need offensively this
season? Cy Creek played well at the end of the season last year and
returns some key skill guys but will have to break in an all new
quarterback. |
|
Spring vs Humble- No doubt that Humble is coming into this game with a
chip on their shoulder. Last season Spring came into their house and
just took Humble behind the woodshed and whooped them as they say.
Spring SR QB Ken McNeal was 23-26 for 253 yards last week and will look
to build upon that. |
|
Klein vs Cy Ridge- Cy Ridge was supposed to be a top team in the area
and still can be although they start the season off 0-1. Another loss
here would really put a damper on things but Klein won this game last
year on a terrific defensive game. Klein needs to show that they can
score on offense with a whole new cast of characters. |
|
Klein Collins vs Cy Fair- Cy Fair was only down 6 at halftime last week
but ended up losing 42-0. Klein Collins pulled a shocker and upset
Conroe 21-7 so they are riding high with their new head coach. This game
should be a good one with two new look teams. |
|
Tomball vs Oak Ridge- If you like it when a tremendous passing team
plays a stellar rushing team then this is your dream match-up! Tomball
throws the ball all over the field and why not when you have SR QB Chad Tarhini and JR WR Jordan Leslie! Oak Ridge runs the ball basically every
play and look out for FR RB Michael Handy. |
|
DeKaney @ Willis (4A)- Willis was just bad last year ending up 0-10.
However they are now 1-0 and feeling more confident. On the other hand
DeKaney is coming off their first game as a varsity team which was a
loss to fellow newby Clear Springs. Coach Amendola knows this could be
an opportunity for a win and in this district that could be their only
one of the season. |

I think that two guys absolutely deserve this award but one gets the nod
because his team won. Klein Forest SR RB Dominic Wilkins ran the ball 17
times and ended up with 119 yards and 2 TD. Oh, and caught a 21 yard TD
pass as well from SR QB Vernell Caldwell. JR WR Jordan Leslie had an
amazing performance in his teams loss. He had 10 receptions for 205
yards and 2 TD. |

Last Week in Review: Klein Forest absolutely dominated Warren Howland
(OHIO) and showed they are back once again in a very strong way. Klein
Collins began their season on a high note as they defeated Conroe in a
bit of a surprise game. Spring looked very good on offense and need to
shore up the secondary but came away with a W. Tomball threw the pigskin
all over the field but fell short to surprise team Morton Ranch. DeKaney
lost in a battle of brand new schools and the road just gets tougher
after this weekend. |
|
Looking Ahead: Non-District games don’t really matter in the big scheme
of things which of course is making the playoffs. However, if teams like
Klein Collins and Tomball start to play well and gain confidence then
that will help catapault them into district play against the big dogs |
