Anderson is back in the race.
After back-to-back tough losses to teams from Aggie land – College Station and A&M Consolidated – to start district play, the Anderson Trojans romped to a lopsided 64-7 rout over the Lehman Lobos Thursday night (10/3) at Bob Shelton Stadium in Buda.
Anderson put this one away early. The Trojans raced out to a 22-0 lead after the first quarter and extended it to 50-0 at the half before coasting home in the second half.
Trojans quarterback Max Gerlich had a monster night. The senior signal caller completed 12 of 14 passes for 338 yards and six touchdowns before giving way to junior Mason Randolph, who tossed a scoring strike of his own.
Senior Tristan Waidelich caught four passes on the night, all for touchdowns. Senior Ed Small had 142 receiving yards and two touchdowns on five catches while senior Zayden Sharp nabbed a scoring strike and added a rushing touchdown. Sophomore Jay Fuller (8-53, TD) also had a rushing touchdown.
Freshman Zane Barber rushed for the only Lobo score of the night as Lehman (0-4, 0-6) remained winless.
The win reinjects the Trojans into the playoffs race. The Trojans currently sit one game behind fourth place Hays and a half-game back of Hendrickson and Lockhart in the District 12-5A-1 playoff chase.
Anderson (1-2, 3-2) hosts Hendrickson (1-0, 2-2) in a key District 12-5A-1 matchup from Nelson Stadium in Friday night’s VYPE/ESPN Austin radio Central Texas High School Football Game of the Week on 102.7 FM.
The Cedar Park Timberwolves raced out to a 14-0 lead then made it stick enroute to a clutch 35-25 District 8-5A-1 win over neighborhood rival Rouse Friday night (10/4) from Gupton Stadium in the VYPE Central Texas High School Football Game of the Week on 102.7 FM ESPN Austin radio.
Explosive junior running back Trae Hill set the tone early, breaking free for a 46-yard touchdown run on Cedar Park’s opening series. Even slowed by injuries, Hill would still go on to crack the century mark on just eight carries. Sophomore quarterback David Cooper (18-23, 117, 2 TDs) tossed the first of two scoring strikes – both to senior Zane Claybrook -- to stake the T’wolves to that early lead.
Rouse’s junior quarterback London Montgomery (29-40, 308 Yds., 3 TDs.) responded with a 40-yard strike to Cameron Cooks to trim the lead to 14-7 after an eventful first quarter but Cedar Park never relinquished that early lead.
Cooper also rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown, while sophomores Lucas Viloria (10-50) and Cameron Graham (4-8, TD) took some of the load off Hill.
Junior Anthony Reyes (19-82) had a solid rushing night for the Raiders, while senior Leland Smit hauled in two of Morgan’s scoring strikes, but it wasn’t enough.
Cedar Park (2-0, 3-2) finds itself alone in first place in what promises to be a wild playoff chase. The Timberwolves have a short week before heading to Georgetown’s Birkelbach Field for a critical Thursday night (10/10) clash with resurgent East View (1-1, 3-2) in a game VYPE will broadcast separately for each school. Rouse (1-1, 2-3) will also play on Thursday, hosting Georgetown (1-1, 4-1) in a high-stakes matchup of their own at Bible Stadium.
With no major upsets, there was minimal movement in the top half of this week’s Power Rankings. Round Rock bounced back to climb a couple of spots while Buda Johnson slipped a couple after losing to Canyon.
Further down, Georgetown also rebounded with an impressive win to leap-frog crosstown rival East View, whose comeback came up just short in overtime. Leander and Cedar Ridge are attracting some eyeballs and scratched their way into this week’s poll.
Regents continues to dominate the private schools but keep an eye on St. Michael’s.
Here’s the rundown heading into Week 7.
