I believe Anahuac would have been the favorite without the return of Barrier. Anahuac has a pretty good group coming through at the moment. WV should take a step back.

was he as quit in high school as he is now?

I assume because the previous QB and coach is back at the helm? I have no clue what Woodville will look like this year, but I don't see the Huac winning this game if (big if) Woodville can limit their QB and offense from running (and throwing) up and down the field, but may the best team (or best that night) win. All in all, let's pray that it's a clean game with no major injuries on either side. 

That should help the cause for WV but Anahuac is still the favorite.
