So far, the road to the District 8-5A-1 title runs through Cedar Park.
District challengers take their shot at the Timberwolves one by one, and one by one, Cedar Park turns away those challenges. Last Friday night (10/18) the Glenn Grizzlies took their crack at it, only to see the T’wolves prevail 34-28 at Gupton Stadium.
The clutch victory keeps Cedar Park alone in first place as they face their next challenger – Lake Belton – in this week’s VYPE Central Texas High School Football Game of the Week on 102.7 FM ESPN Austin radio.
Neither squad was able to shake the other. The game was tied 7-7 after the first quarter, 14-all at the half and – following offensive outbursts by both teams – 28-28 heading into the final quarter. With four minutes remaining, sophomore running back Cameron Graham (18-120, 4 TDs) punched in his fourth rushing touchdown, this one from five yards out, to put Cedar Park ahead for good. The Black Rain defense held on to secure the win.
Sophomore quarterback David Cooper (7-16, 160 yds, TD) tossed one touchdown to senior Zane Claybrook to go with Graham’s workhorse rushing performance.
Cedar Park (4-0, 5-2) will try to protect their 1-game lead over Lake Belton, Leander, Georgetown and when they travel to Belton High School’s Tigers Stadium to face the Broncos (3-1, 5-2) in a game our Cedar Park VYPE crew will broadcast with the simulcast on 102.7 FM ESPN Austin radio. Glenn (0-4, 2-5) will look to play spoiler against Georgetown.
Suffice it to say, the “San Gabriel River Slugfest” didn’t live up to the hype.
While it appeared as if a vastly improved East View squad might be able to give perennial power Georgetown a tussle, the favored Eagles never let them in the game. Georgetown raced out to a commanding 45-7 halftime lead and cruised from there to a convincing 58-14 victory from Birkelbach Field Friday night (10/18) in the VYPE Central Texas High School Football Game of the Week on 102.7 FM ESPN Austin radio.
Sophomore quarterback Kaleb McDougle (12-22, 215 yds., 2 TDs) threw for two scoring strikes and junior running back Jett Walker (14-127) blew past the century mark on the ground to help the Eagles soar.
The tough loss dealt a severe blow to East View’s playoff chances. The Patriots (1-3, 3-4) now find themselves two games off the District 8-5A-1 playoff chase with three games remaining. East View hosts Killeen Chaparral in a must-win game Friday (10/25) night at Birkelbach in a game our East View VYPE crew will broadcast.
Georgetown’s convincing win lifted the Eagles (3-1, 6-1) into a three-way tie with Lake Belton and Leander for second place in the district, a game up on Rouse and a game back of Cedar Park. The Eagles face Glenn Friday night (10/25) at Bible Stadium.
