Two dominant signal callers in Cayden Keeth and Corey Dailey are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. After each having a week off, the Pieper Warriors and the Seguin Matadors will shake off the cobwebs and face off against one another at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Pieper is looking to tack on another W to their seven-game streak on the road dating back to last season.
Pieper and Smithson Valley met for a duel last Friday where Pieper prevailed. Pieper sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 39-36 win over Smithson Valley. Pieper's victory was all the more impressive since the Rangers were averaging only 14.6 points allowed on the season.
Pieper's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was John Hamilton, who rushed for 81 yards and two touchdowns. Isaiah Champagne also helped out with an impressive 161 receiving yards.
Pieper wouldn't let Smithson Valley keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Pieper can thank Ben Chapman and Aidan Webb for forcing both of them. Raja Lopez was another major factor on D, making 11 total tackles (3.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Seguin). They walked away with a 73-66 victory over Boerne-Champion last Friday. That's two games straight that the Matadors have won by exactly seven points.
It was another big night for Dailey, who threw for 471 yards and seven touchdowns while completing 74.3% of his passes, and also punched in a rushing score. With that strong performance, he is now averaging an impressive 3.4 passing touchdowns per game. Nik Henry did his part for the team as well, scoring a TD off of 140 receiving yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Seguin was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 208 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 208 rushing yards in three consecutive games.
Pieper's win bumped their record up to 5-0. As for Seguin, they now have a winning record of 3-2.
We should be in store for an exciting game as the two teams have no problem gaining yardage. Pieper has been on an offensive roll this season, having averaged 368.2 total yards per game. However, it's not like Seguin struggles in that department as they've been averaging 459.4. With a pair of commanding offenses duking it out, the defenses are going to have their work cut out for them.
