Preview: Westlake vs. Brandeis

If the MaxPreps national rankings hold true, the near future looks bright for Westlake. They will go up against Brandeis in continuing playoff action on Saturday. Each of these teams will be battling to keep a win streak alive as Westlake skips in on 11 wins and Brandeis on seven.

You're bound to get a positive result if you outscore your opponent every quarter, and that's exactly how it played out between Westlake and Vela. Everything went Westlake's way against Vela last week as they made off with a 28-0 victory. Senior Taylor Anderson, who picked up 49 yards on the ground on 7 carries and accumulated 98 passing yards, was a major factor in Westlake's success. Anderson has now scored at least one touchdown in the past 13 games.

Meanwhile, Brandeis weren't the first ones on the board, but they got there more often. They won a matchup that couldn't have been any closer, slipping by Hanna 33-32. This was a playoff matchup, so the win was all the more important for Brandeis (and all the more bitter for Hanna).

Their wins bumped Westlake to 12-1 and Brandeis to 11-2. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
