The Johnson Jaguars will look to defend their home field against the LEE Volunteers at 2:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Johnson has five straight victories, LEE has four straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Last Saturday, Johnson was able to grind out a solid win over Madison, taking the game 41-28. Given the Jaguars' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 142nd, while the Mavericks are ranked 543rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Johnson's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Elvis Estrada led the charge by throwing for 184 yards and three touchdowns while completing 82.4% of his passes. Gabe Simpson was Estrada's top target, picking up 52 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also punching in a touchdown on the ground.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Johnson's defense and their 4.5 sacks. In that department, Isaiah Torres was the leader with two. He also set a new season high mark in total tackles with 11.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Johnson was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 221 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 151 rushing yards in seven consecutive matches.
