Lake Creek @ Texas High

[Bordertown]

Help a Smoaky.com member understand what to expect from Lake Creek in Round 1. From what I can tell from their stats, they have an athlete at QB who accounts for 75% of their offense. He seems to be a good runner (leads their team) and a so so passer. How is their defense? 
 

Will be interesting to see how District 7 & 8 match up. I think the #1s out of each district should be heavy favorites, but the 2s v 3s to be interesting matchups.

Lake Creek has no defense.

Texas High by 4 TD's or more.

I am leaning Montgomery with their match up vs. Mount Pleasant and Marshall with their match up vs. Huntsville.

I would agree with your leans. Both MP & Marshall have good defenses. MP’s offense seems to have figured it out in their last three games (against lesser competition). I expect those two games to be highly contested.

Lack of defense is not a good recipe against a balanced offense.

District splits… home teams will win imo. 
 

Lake Creek has zero defense. QB takes advantage of the running lanes that open up…. Extends plays and drives. A linebacker spy should help that out a lot… their o line didn’t impress me much. Not sure how Texas High D line is this year… 

LC didn’t have very good pursuit to the ball on D, missed a lot of tackles,

Not impressed with LC’s coaching.  Texas High will not have a problem!

Going into the season, the Texas defense was thought to be the strength of the team. They had their ups and downs early in the season against above average teams. From the Marshall game on, they have been dominate. The question mark was our QB and OL. It was known the QB was an athlete, but played WR up until this year. He has been a pleasant surprise completing 2/3 of his passes for 2000+ yards. While it has not been necessary to date, he can be dangerous with his legs. OL seems to have gelled after a suspect early season, but may be the weakest link on the team.

If Lake Creek cannot play defense, it will be a long night. Tiger offense averages 400+ ypg which is basically 50/50 run and pass.

LC doesn’t have much firepower. They have spurts where they can be stingy on defense, but it’s nothing special. Their offense is one decent receiver, a solid qb, and a decent running back who isn’t raising any eyebrows. I might rank six RBs in our district higher than him (he’s a freshman with a good ceiling, so that’s not a knock on him). The result is pretty one dimensional, but they’ve moved the ball ok all season. Qb waits for a perfect pass to let it go, so you can get coverage sacks all night. He’s got a good touch when he does throw it. Numbers seem down over there. They don’t have the depth of a 5ad2 team. Basically, they’re a 4a team at a 5a school. The early game might be close — Despite everything we’re all saying, LC isn’t bad. They can make a game of it. They just don’t have a lot of talent or depth. So, I’m expecting it to be 14-7 to start the 2nd quarter, but it’s 45-7 by the end of the 3rd.
