Scrimmage Recap / Other Notes

La Porte took on Pearland Dawson in a scrimmage last Friday at the Rig in Pearland.  This was the only tune up before Friday's first game of the season against Clear Brook.

The Bulldogs began the first part of the controlled scrimmage on offense with a great drive for a touchdown.  Working out of a multiple-I set La Porte mixed the run and pass, moving the ball easily and getting a one yard touchdown run from Senior Fullback Trevor Nelson.  La Porte's second possession saw more of the same as the Bulldogs, this time out of the shotgun, moved the ball down the field with Senior Quarterback Jordan Jackson finding Junior Receiver David Terrebonne for a 17 yard touchdown pass. Sophomore Running Back Devon White had a big 60 yard run later in the second team offense along with Junior Quarterback Nick Brown finding Senior Wide Receiver Taejon Wearen for a big gain over the top of the defense.

La Porte's defense took a while to warm up giving up two touchdowns in 10 plays to start Dawson's part of the controlled scrimmage.  They would settle down later however getting some stops.

In the two live quarters of play the Bulldogs defense caused a turnover and had a big goaline stand to keep Dawson out of the end zone.  The offense couldn't get the ball out of their own end zone and Dawson got a safety for the only points scored in the open scrimmage.

La Porte saw what they needed to see and will take on Clear Brook this Friday at 7pm at Clear Creek ISD Stadium off 518/2094 in League City.

Former Bulldog Keith Whitely (c/o 2013) will be on TV this Thursday at 6pm as his UNLV Rebels take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers. The game will be broadcast on the Big 10 Network.  Whitely should see some playing time at running back and especially as a punt returner.

Former Bulldog John Wesby (c/o 2011) will be on Houston Baptist's inaugural football team.  He will be a starting cornerback and they play Sam Houston State on 8/31 in their first game in program history.

Former Bulldog Anthony Webb (c/o 2011) should see action for the Baylor Bears against Wofford this Saturday 8/31 at 630.  Webb is shown 3rd on Art Briles preseason depth chart at safety. He will likely see playing time on special teams and some on defense.  The game will be broadcast on FSN.

I'm trying to get a district preview as well as a Clear Brook preview out this week.
