Friendswood (21) @ La Porte (57) - FINAL

[OlDawg]

La Porte has a lot more depth than I realized this year, and they're bringing up some talented freshman & sophomores. Had some go out with what appeared to be minor issues. Some appeared to be pulled for precautionary moves because they wanted to come back in and coaches wouldn't allow. Smart move if you want an extended season like they're hoping. Friendswood is big again. Good team. They had some drops that could have made a difference in the momentum of the game. But, LP still had their number. They look like a good lock for 3 seed IMHO right now. The Friendswood game against Crosby next week should be the decider.

LP looks to be at least 2 deep (quality players) at every position except PK. If they can find a way to incorporate the #3 & 4 RB's into the short passing game like Sandolph last year, this O could be even more potent. Right now, Smith is stretching the field, and 14 (Godbolt-Carr) is more of the wing back/intermediate receiver, and doing well.

The off week & retooling worked like a charm. This is the team fans expected. IMO, the tough predistrict set them up for success again, and they learned a lot about themselves and who/what needed to be done for the real season and beyond.

Bulldogs Steamroll Friendswood with 57–21 Victory Behind Dominant Ground Game

The La Porte Bulldogs continued their impressive season Friday night with a statement win, overpowering the Friendswood Mustangs 57–21 in a game defined by relentless rushing and explosive plays.

La Porte's offense was unstoppable, piling up over 500 rushing yards as the Bulldogs controlled the tempo from start to finish. Leading the charge was senior running back Sean Simon, who delivered a great performance with over 260 yards and five touchdowns. Simon's mix of power and speed kept the Friendswood defense on its heels all night.

Complementing Simon's monster game was Ashton Ruffin, who slashed through the Mustang defense for 140 yards and a touchdown, giving La Porte a devastating one-two punch in the backfield. The Bulldogs also showed flashes of balance, with quarterback connections adding to the scoring. Ryker Reynolds hauled in a touchdown pass, while Joziah Rocha punched in another score to keep Friendswood guessing.

The defense matched the offense's intensity, forcing key turnovers to preserve momentum. Jim Gonzalez came up with a crucial interception, halting a promising Friendswood drive and setting up another Bulldogs score.

With the victory, La Porte showcased why they are one of the most dangerous teams in the district—a squad with a bruising run game, opportunistic defense, and the ability to dominate from the opening kickoff. Bulldog Nation will be ready as La Porte looks to carry this momentum into next week's matchup.
