TX HS Football Early Returns

Three games into the Allen Eagle Road Show and the possibility of a 3-peat does not look promising.  Last year Allen had an average score differential of 50-18 through a 16-game schedule.  Through 3 games this year, it is 57-41.  I never thought the program could produce a defense like this at this stage.  Murray has been a 1-man wrecking crew: 64% completions, 1,003 yards, 11.3 yards per attempt, 10 TD's/1 interception, 426 rush yards, 15.8 yards per carry, 9 TD's.  He has had to play the whole 4 quarters each game this year.  The defense is both small and slow, not a good combination.

DeSoto has to be the favorite to come out of DFW and finally get their championship.  They are routing everyone so far, and will get a challenge this week with Cibolo Steele, followed by Cedar Hill.  Katy has already lost to The Woodlands.  Cedar Hill lost to Skyline.  Coppell lost to McKinney Boyd.  I would not relish trying to stop DeSoto with this Allen defense.  Todd Dodge is back in 6A at Austin Westlake - home of Drew Brees and Nick Foles.  That will be interesting.  They opened with a 1-point loss to Southlake.

Murray is a treat and I wish I could watch him this year.

Dodge will win big in Austin.
