Game 6: SGP Warriors vs. Cedar Hill

This is definitely a testament game for the Warriors. It is going to be the toughest game for the Warriors for the rest of the season. The rest of the district will and should be a breeze for the Warriors and Longhorns.SGP is ranked 18th in the area and Cedar Hill is ranked 12th. An SGP loss shouldn't knock them from the top 20, but it could if it is an embarrassing loss, something like 52-0. I don't think it will look like that...

Cedar Hill does have a passing game, but they choose to not use it. Why use it when the running game can't be stopped. The QB Driphus Jackson has 56 carries for 311 yards while going 33-62 for 256 yards passing. He has two TD passes and two TD rushes. A bigger threat would be the RB Ben Malena who has 70 rushes for 605 yards. He has rushed for 7 TDs. There is no real favorite for Jackson when he throws, but then again, he has plenty of targets. There are also other rushing threats.

Longhorns to Watch:
  • QB Driphus Jackson: 33-62 for 256 yards, 2 TDs, 1 Int
  • RB Ben Molina: 70 carries for 605 yards, 7 TDs
The Warriors have a passing game, rushing game, and receiving game. They average 110 yards passing each game, 134 yards rushing, and close to three TDs a game. The Warriors average twice as many catching TDs as rushing TDs.

Should the Warriors win this, they have to stop the Longhorn rushing game.

Warriors to Watch:
  • QB Ryan Campos: 29-53 for 437 yards in four games.
  • RB Tyrus McGlothen: 112 carries for 488 yards (5 games)
  • WR DeWayne Peace: 21 catches for 358 yards and 7 TDs

Forecast: Wow... I guess this forecast is questioning myself and whether I believe the Warriors can shut down the Longhorn rushing game. And... well... I think they can slow it down. I don't think they can shut it down. And with that in mind, can the Warriors step up the "O"? Maybe. I want to say the Warriors will win this one. I really, really, really want to say that. What I think is this, Cedar Hill takes this one, 28-24.
