Westlake is excellent as usual….very disciplined.

But I think you could say the same thing about NS.

I think North Shore has just enough advantage athletically to pull out the win.

There is one common opponent between the two, Humble Atascocita.

Westlake lost to Atascocita in Austin 39-21 on September 13.

North Shore beat Atascocita twice. 27-23 at Atascocita on October 25th, and then again last week in the Region 3 final at Thorne Stadium, 49-21.

They are not “wussies”, I can assure you that….i don’t think they have enough to beat North Shore but they will hit and play extremely hard.

My Hometown Angleton Wildcats are playing in Waco against Smithson Valley Saturday at 2:30. Angleton hasn’t been to the state finals since 1958. Go Wildcats!!

I feel like I am dusting off cliches but the team that can run the ball the best will win the North Shore vs Westlake matchup. Both team like to run the ball. North Shore likes to occasionally air it out and Westlake got 3 picks against Lake Travis, so the team that does not turn the ball over will have a great chance of winning,

How big is that stadium?

High school playoffs are a great time for football fans.

That is going to be a great matchup. Battle of undefeateds. I did not mention the game because the teams are in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.

That said, Summer Creek (12-2) is playing Vandegrift (13-1), December 14, 2024, 7:00 PM, McLane Stadium in Waco, TX, in the Conference 6A, Division 2, Semi-Finals. Summer Creek is part of Humble ISD, just north of Houston, and Vandegrift in the Leander ISD, in North Austin.

Didn’t they beat Allen? Sounds like Crowley is tough this year.

North Crowley beat Allen 35-7 last weekend.
