This week the La Porte Bulldogs will face the Channelview Falcons 7pm Friday at the new Channelview football stadium.
La Porte enters the contest with a 6-1 record after a 20-16 win over Deer Park last week. La Porte has clinched a playoff spot and will look to continue their drive for another 21-5A district championship.
Channelview will try to improve on a 1-7 record to start the season. The Falcons lost last week to Beaumont West Brook 44-11. La Porte beat West Brook three weeks ago 52-7.
La Porte's defense comes into this week after a great effort against Deer Park's offense who had averaged almost 400 yards per game. La Porte held them to 270. Junior linebacker Hoza Scott had his best game of the season with 12 tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown. Senior nose guard Corey Lee has also been a stand out this season. Senior linebacker Alex Jones picked up an injury against the Deer and his status is unknown for this weeks game. Junior Victor Holmes leads the district with three interceptions on the season.
Channelview's defense is lead by Senior Defensive Back Robbie Miller who shares the district lead in interceptions with Holmes with three. The Falcons have given up almost 300 yards rushing per game in district play so far this season and will be looking to improve this week against a run-heavy La Porte attack.
La Porte's offense lead by Senior Running Back Keith Whitely (902 yards, 5 touchdowns), will look to get the ball rolling this week. Junior Quarterback Jordan Jackson (695 yards, 14 touchdowns) has only four interceptions on the season. Thirty percent of Jackson's 48 completions have been touchdown passes. Junior Running Back Jonathan Lewis (661 total yards, 10 touchdowns), has a knack for getting in the end zone on the ground and through the air. Senior Receiver Jahvey Mark (246 yards, 4 touchdowns) is the teams leading receiver. The offensive line will be looking to control the line of scrimmage again this week with Seniors Maurice Morris, Justin King and Tony Briones in form.
Channelview's offense is a pass heavy spread attack. The Falcons have three quarterbacks with over 50 attempted passes on the season. The last couple of weeks Sophomore Jalen Hurts has taken some snaps and he is the brother of former standout Averion Hurts. Sophomore Running Back Chris Jefferson (520 total yards, 3 touchdowns) is the leading rusher and has also caught 14 passes. The teams offensive leader is Senior Matthew Williams who plays running back (307 yards rushing, 3 touchdowns) and receiver (28 catches, 231 yards and 3 touchdowns). The Falcons like to throw short passes and rely on their athletes to make plays.
This weeks game will be at the new Maddry Stadium: 1100 Sheldon Road Channelview, Tx 77530.
Let's get on the road and support our Bulldogs to victory!
