Their offense mainly focuses around the trio of QB Cameron Slown, RB Vincent Roland, and RB Raphael Sterns. The offense averages 300 yards a game but the defense is the question as they blew a 20-0 lead going into halftime last week against Westwood.

The Maroons defense gives up 300.3 yards a game in which Westwood can improve its 286.7 yards of offense. However, the Warriors Woes continues as QB Zach Meyer (3 rushing TDs) and RB Jason Shields (3 rushing TDs) look to take advantage of a weak defense that gives up a whopping 341.7 yards.

Davis leads the pack with 372 yards and 6 touchdowns. QB Chris Ball used his small size to throw 3 TDs last week against Lanier. Defensively Leander is great too. 229 yards a game is credited to LB Odell Grant, who had a blocked kick return for a touchdown. The Lions have great playing from DB Luis Aguero, DL Josh Wharton, Jon Herrin, and Robert Allen. The Tigers offense is an offense headed by QB Cory Fredenburg. He guides an offense that gives up 283.3 yards a game.

The Dragons played tough in all their games but the offense was missing. RB Buzzy Earl is back from injury hoping to improve on a team that averages only 185 yards. QB Cris Love (315 passing, 3 TDS) and WR Jon Peoples (21-196) have hooked up twice for scores. The Dragons will need all the help they can on defense once again to stop the duo from San Marcos. The Rattlers on the other hand have had a weak schedule. They defeated and dominated Stroman, Edison, and Seguin. In every catergory possible they've own. Partly due to RBs Juan Batiste (303 yards) and Lukinrick Ellison (282 yards). San Marcos won last years KVUE game of the week at Bobcat Stadium 29-26.

John Austin Emmons carries the ball for them.

Offensively, the Eagles have WR Mike Schoepf and WR Paul Lucas to throw to. This 18 senior squad Eagle team are predicted to win 26-2A. All seniors are starting. Cedar Park, on the other hand found that passing was the way to win last week. QB Michael Swoda has only hit TE Aaron Lyons all season. He needs to find other receivers and Quinton Smith must run the ball like he did against Holland if Cedar Park wants to win. Michael McGuinness played well last week for the T'Wolves with 14 tackles.
