They’ve needed every single one of those points, however, as McNeil’s young defense has given up 43 points per game. Look for them to get stronger as the season wears on.
Round Rock, on the other hand, has had a frustrating season so far. Head Coach Cody Moore’s Dragons (0-1, 0-3) are surprisingly still looking for their first win of the season after losses at Killeen Shoemaker, a 7-point loss against Temple and a gut wrenching 1-point defeat at Vista Ridge last week.
The Dragons still have time to turn the season around under the veteran leadership of senior quarterback Jack Appl and their senior-led defense. But with Vandegrift returning to form, an undefeated 3-0 Vista Ridge, an improved Hutto squad led by a defending state champion defensive coordinator and McNeil all in front of them, Round Rock likely feels an added sense of urgency heading into this rivalry game.
When McNeil clashes with Round Rock Friday night from Dragon, it will go a long way towards determining if it’s going to be the same ol’ same old in this year’s District 25-6A race – or if the upstart Mavericks will join the mix.
