Friday Football Previews
La Grange vs. Canyon Lake
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: Canyon Lake
Records: Both teams are 0-1.
Of Note: La Grange is coming off a 40-14 loss to now No. 6 ranked 3A Rockdale Friday. La Grange turned the ball over four times and lost quarterback Matthew Johnson early in the game to a concussion. His status for Friday’s game was still uncertain at press time. D.J. Taylor ran for 96 yards and a touchdown for the Leps, Ryder Imhoff caught four passes and ran for a touchdown .... Canyon Lake’s Slot-T offensive attack saw six different guys carry the ball last week in a 24-22 loss to 4A No. 4 ranked Wimberley, But Canyon Lake can pass the ball well too. Senior quarterback Peyton McMullen completed seven of 15 passes Friday for 155 yards
Up next: La Grange hosts La Vernia next week.
Schulenburg vs. Brazos
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: Brazos
Records: Schulenburg is 1-0. Brazos is 0-1.
Of Note: The Walt Brock-era at Schulenburg could not have started much better. In his first game as Shorthorn head coach Brock led them to a 40-0 win over Stockdale. Brett Janecek ran for a touchdown and threw for three TDs (as part of a 269 yard passing night) while the Shorthorn defense limited Stockdale to just 116 total yards. But things get tougher this week for Schulenburg. 3A Brazos is coming off a 21-15 loss to Anderson-Shiro. Brazos never trailed in that game until the fourth quarter. Brazos went 3-8 last season but does return seven starters on offense and seven starters on defense from last year’s team, including quarterback Jared Demny.
Up next: Schulenburg hosts Yorktown for homecoming next Friday.
Stockdale vs. Flatonia
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
Where: Stockdale
Records: Flatonia 1-0. Stockdale is 0-1.
Of Note: Flatonia looked really good in its season-opening 27-6 win over Runge last Friday. Chris Johnston ran for two touchdowns and 95 yards and Ricardo Olivares ran for 64 yards and two TDs ... Stockdale struggled to a 40-0 loss at Schulenburg. The game might not have been as bad as the final score indicated as Stockdale trailed just 6-0 at halftime before things fell apart in the second half. Stockdale quarterback Cutter Clancy threw three interceptions. Jake Gann ran for 46 yards, part of a night when Stockdale only amassed 116 total yards.
Up next: Flatonia hosts Falls City next week for homecoming.
