Region IV
Luling (5-6) vs. Goliad (7-4) Friday 7:30pm Harlandale Stadium, San Antonio
Luling may look like the underdog on paper, but don’t tell that to the Eagles, who have done a complete 180 on their season after starting 0-4 and have won their last four games. Luling’s strength is in a running game featuring Shaft Cubit, who put up 284 yards last game. Luling will have to cut down on their interceptions and the defense will have to be ready for Goliad’s offense, led by sophomore QB DJ Taylor. Once the Tigers get going, they are capable of filling up the scoreboard. – Michael De Leon
