Two weeks ago, everything came up roses for East View at home against Belton as the squad secured a 48-14 victory. Given the Patriots' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 299th, while the Tigers are ranked 689th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Ty Blair had an outrageously good game as he threw for 442 yards and five touchdowns while completing 78.1% of his passes. Another player making a difference was Tanner Namken, who picked up 168 receiving yards.
Another reason for the win was East View's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Isaiah Davenport-Bell was especially locked on to Belton's QB and sacked him twice. Davenport-Bell is also crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least 12 every time he's taken the field this season. East View got some further help from Aquavious Marbury: he made 15 total tackles and defended a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Meanwhile, Glenn lost 42-21 to Bowie two weeks ago. The loss was the Grizzlies' first of the season.
East View now has a winning record of 2-1. As for Glenn, their loss was their first of the season and also makes their record 2-1.
East View didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Glenn in their previous matchup back in October of 2023, but they still walked away with a 42-38 win. Will East View repeat their success, or does Glenn have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
