Welcome back to another ATX/SATX edition of Team of the Week. Each week we take a look at a team from across the San Antonio/Austin area and surrounding areas that impressed us for one reason or another.
This weeks team of the week is the Seguin football team. The Matadors have been off to a hot start this year. They currently sit at 6-1 on the year with their lone loss being to 6A rival New Braunfels. After that Week 2 loss, the Matadors have ripped off 5 straight wins including 4 district victories. Last weeks win may have been the most impressive with a 41-34 win over Hays.
The win sets up Seguin not only for a playoff spot but a potential playoff run. One of the most impressive things about Seguin's season is that they have been led by Freshman QB Corey Dailey. Dailey is 85/133 on the year with 1,172 passing yards and 18 touchdowns to only 4 interceptions. Helping him has been Senior Jakyari Matthews and Junior John'Avahn Jackson. Matthews has rushed for 345 yards on the year and Jackson has gone for 665 yards.
Seguin heads into their back end of district play with 3 tough games remaining (Canyon, Wagner and Smithson Valley). A win this Friday against Canyon could set up a huge Week 11 matchup against Smithson Valley that could be for the district championship.
Cedar Park and Rouse have been going at it since Rouse opened its doors in Leander ISD in 2009. Those matchups have all recently been at the 5A level, where both the Raiders and especially the 2015 State Champion Timberwolves have seen considerable success. This Friday night (10/2) will mark their first clash as 6A foes when Cedar Park meets Rouse in a District 24-6A showdown at Gupton Stadium in our VYPE Central Texas Game of the Week.
All signs point to a plethora of points at The Gup. Sixth year head coach Michael Quintero’s Timberwolves (1-0, 5-0) have lit up the scoreboard to the tune of 50.8 point-per-game throughout the first half of the season. Senior quarterback David Cooper (86-114, 1,344, 15 TD, 0 INT) has picked apart opposing defenses through the air while tacking on just under 200 yards and 4 more touchdowns on the ground.
Senior Brayden Jahns (35-545, 15.6 YPC, 3 TD) has been Cooper’s favorite target, supported by fellow seniors Jonah Johnson and Kysen Pham. Lucas Viloria (93-455, 4.9 YPC, 8 TD) paces the T’wolves’ ground attack.
It’s been feast or famine on the other side of the ball. The vaunted Black Rain defense has shown signs of its championship heritage in back-to-back shutouts of Leander and Neu Braunfels and a 7-point effort vs. Clark. Yet they’ve also given up 35 points to A&M Consolidated and 34 to Midway. Senior Deshaun Stewart (50 tackles, 3.0 TFL, 2.0 Sacks) and junior C.J. Rogers (42 tackles, 2.0 TFL) anchor a unit that could help propel Cedar Park to a long playoff run with a little more consistency.
New Rouse head coach Mark Hopkins, who took over from founding coach Joshua Mann, has the Raiders (1-0, 3-2) thinking playoffs. Senior Chase Whitten (59-88, 724 Yds., 9 TD, 2 INT) guides a Raiders offense that will test Cedar Park’s defense, averaging 33.8 points per game. Like Cedar Park’s defense, the Rouse offense has been hit or miss, piling up points in wins over Georgetown, McNeil and Vista Ridge – but getting shut out by Midway and scoring 16 vs. Cedar Ridge.
Sophomore Amauri Dickson (55-531, 9.7 YPC, 6 TD) and senior Aubryn Davis (42-413, 9.8 YPC, 4 TDs) have gashed opponents on the ground with Davis also leading the team in catches and receiving yards.
Junior Dylan White (68 tackles, 5.0 TFL, Sack) and senior Greyson Simpson (51 Tackles, 9.0 FTL, 7.0 Sacks) drive a defense that’s allowed 23.4 points per game.
Each district game takes on added importance with just seven teams in the newly reconfigured District 24-6A. Just a little added significance for longtime rivals Cedar Park and Rouse.

There’s been no movement in the Top 5, but that doesn’t mean Week 6 arrives without its share of noteworthy results.
Steele is coming off an imposing 64-28 win against Pieper, while Boerne’s record remains unblemished after the Greyhounds secured a critical 38-31 victory against district rival Alamo Heights. The result adds another layer of intrigue to a competitive 13-5A Division II race, with both teams now positioned for what could be a fascinating stretch run.
Then there’s Champion, whose dominance is becoming increasingly difficult to overlook. The Chargers improved to 5-0 with a 61-32 win against Anderson, continuing what has been an impressive start to the campaign. Harlan also re-enters the Top 10 after defeating Marshall, 59-14, last week, with the Hawks now sitting at 4-1 heading into their bye.
The 4A ranks, meanwhile, set the stage for one of the week’s most intriguing matchups. Tivy (4-0) and Davenport (3-1) are both unbeaten in District 13-4A Division I and now prepare to clash Friday. With the district race still taking shape, the matchup could ultimately play a major role in determining the division champion.
