La Porte vs Deer Park Preview

Tomorrow is the big game! Today I have a little bit of a preview.

La Porte is 5-2, 3-0 in district 22-6A. They have clinched a playoff spot

Deer Park is 6-2, 4-0 in district 22-6A. They have also clinched a playoff spot.

Winner will have a inside track on the district championship, but this game probably will not affect playoff positioning as Deer Park will be Division 1 with the big schools, while La Porte will be Division 2 with the smaller schools.

La Porte's offense has been more balanced than we've seen in years. Senior Quarterback and Memphis commitment Austin Upshaw has been able to open up the passing attack, adding to the already potent running game. Deer Park will not be able to stack 10 men in the box like they have the last few seasons to varying success. La Porte is very hard to read with Upshaw, Cobra Jones and Kevrin Busby all very capable of hitting big plays on the ground. The receiving corps of Busby, Trent Ormsbee, Hunter Hebert, Damien Phillips and Jadon McConnell give defenses fits and all are equal receiving threats.

Deer Park on offense features running back Angel Vargas, who averages about 30 carries a game, opening up some passing lanes for Quarterback Hunter Becton. Becton is very efficient throwing the ball so far this season. La Porte's defense will focus on stopping Vargas and Deer Park will likely have to rely on the pass more in this game.

La Porte's defense will be tested, led by Senior and U of Houston commit Terrel Bernard.

Should be a heck of a game, as always!

Let me know how you think things will go

La Porte takes down Clear Brook in a 17 hour game

La Porte defeated Clear Brook last Friday in a game that spanned 2 days.  With Clear Brook up 7-0 and almost 3 minutes left in the 1st quarter a lightning storm came close to the stadium for a couple hours causing the game to be postponed and delayed til 1030 Saturday.  Clear Brook had dominated the first 9 minutes of action Friday night.

Saturday started with a totally different La Porte mindset and much better execution.  Senior Quarterback Austin Upshaw rallied the Dogs beginning on the first play of the 2nd quarter with a 21 yard pass to Junior Trent Ormsbee, followed by two more touchdowns.  Upshaw would find the corner for a 32 yard touchdown run, then just before halftime Upshaw found Senior Kevrin Busby for a dazzling 42 yard touchdown pass with jukes and broken tackles.  La Porte lead 21-7 at halftime.

The defense, lead by Senior Terrel Bernard, had many key stops in a row to get La Porte back into the game and out to a commanding lead.

Busby would add a 19 yard run in the 3rd quarter to give the Bulldogs a 3 touchdown advantage.

Clear Brook scored a couple times with the help of a onside kick, but too little too late.  La Porte held on 28-20.

La Porte Loss to Atascocita 34-23

La Porte started out slow and Atascocita's high powered offense scored enough to pull out the victory.  Both teams had sloppy performances, but a good learning experience.
