Fulshear waltzed into their game on Thursday with two straight wins... but they left with three. Everything went their way against the Alief Taylor Lions as they made off with a 34-11 win. Given the Chargers' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 127th, while the Lions are ranked 458th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
A big part of Fulshear's victory came down to the chemistry between Shaan Patel and his top target Ryland Forks. Patel threw for 355 yards and five touchdowns while completing 95.8% of his passes while Forks picked up 161 receiving yards and three TDs. Patel's passing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 319 passing yards. A healthy portion of Patel's aerial production (113 yards to be exact) also went to Trey Clewis, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
Fulshear didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Alief Taylor to a completion percentage of just 36.4%. The team can thank Evan Ferns for the heroic effort on defense: he. Given Patel's standout performance, it's clear Alief Taylor's secondary just wasn't on the same level.
