Ducks Have Major Questions at the Quarterback Position
The Taylor Ducks entered their season opener against Gatesville with uncertainty at quarterback. Senior Eli Laurence got the start but struggled, throwing three interceptions and failing to advance the ball downfield. This left the Ducks' offense one-dimensional, allowing Gatesville to focus on stopping the run. It will be interesting to see how Taylor's head coach, Flowers, adjusts as the Ducks head on the road to face Pflugerville Connally.
Hippos' Offense Will Be Just Fine
The Hippos entered the season needing to replace elite offensive players Will Hammond and Alex Green. However, on Friday, the Hutto offense appeared seamless, scoring 63 points in a 63-8 win over the San Marcos Rattlers. Junior quarterback Kaden Stefek and senior wide receiver Braeton Anderson led the charge, with Stefek accumulating 225 yards and five total touchdowns, while Anderson recorded 191 yards and three touchdowns.
