Pieper (8-1,5-0) @ Liberty Hill (6-3,4-1) for the District 13 5AD2 Championship.
This could easily be a shootout with 150+ total points; similar to LH vs Hutto (82-80). Both teams have scored 413 points thru 9 games. Similar total yardage per game albeit in different ways.
Should be an exciting game.

Pieper will be distracted from the beautiful scenery up 281 and come out slow. LH takes it in a shootout.

But, I've watched 4 Pieper games and I like their defense a lot. Their defensive front is good and the linebackers get to the football. The ONLY thing Pieper lacks is big time speed. They are a very, very solid team otherwise with good QB play and WRs that catch the ball well and run good routes. I think their passing game is going to give LH some problems. And, they have a good OL that blocks well and a couple RBs that run hard albeit they are not fast at all.

The 1sr qtr will be telling. If Pieper can stop the run early their chances of winning are good. If LH can move the ball, even if it is 3 yards in a cloud of dust, LH has the advantage. Those 3 yards will turn into 10+ yards in the 3rd and 4th qrts.
LH run defense is good so Pieper will have to live in the air. The big question I have is whether LH has an answer for it.
Pieper’s defense reminds me of Alamo Heights’ defense last year. Linebackers are fast and bring the wood.
LH will have their starting backfield and starting quarterback back together again for the first time since game 2 against Hutto.
It will be gunslinger against a 4-headed cannon.

Game over.

Agree with you fully! I think the first part of the game, at least the first 1.5 quarters is going to set the tone. Pieper's D plays very hard for sure and they seem to take really good angles to the football. I was impressed with the job they were able to do against SAVM's stud RB. Of course LH brings a totally different animal with their smash mouth running game and it will be very interesting to see if the Pieper D line can stand their ground and allow those linebackers to slow up the LH middle run game on 1st & 2nd downs enough to put them in uncomfortable 3rd downs.

I think this game will be in the 45-42 final result category....right around 90 pts scored total. Anything higher than that indicates weaknesses in each teams' defense. I don't think that will prove to be the case....although both teams do have the ability to score against good defenses. I went with Pieper in this one....just because LH is not on my list this season.

Liberty Hill 10 Pieper 12 Halftime.
Pieper’s run D is stout. But LH D showed up with 2 int’s; one of which was a pick 6.
LH is getting to the QB. He has been on his back the whole 1st half and looks a little gun shy now.
Pieper’s tackling is stellar so far. We will see I if that intensity lasts for 4 qrts. They have so far shut down the middle and they flow well laterally.

Pieper's D answered the call in the 2nd half dominating the 3rd and half of the 4th quarter up until LH got that onside kick late in the game.

Pieper 33 Liberty Hill 23 Final
Hats off to Pieper. They shut down LH’s running game for 3 2/3 quarters. Maybe closer to 3 7/8 quarters.
LH was sooooo close to getting that second onside kick. It wouldn’t have changed the outcome but it would have been an exciting final minute.
Hats off to Liberty Hill for playing until the final whistle. Man, I felt that hit on the last INT from the stands.
Season that matters start now. Good luck to both teams.

LH kids play damn hard and never quit even when they were down 3 scores in the middle of the 4th.

Their running game was completely shut down and they are a 100% running team, there's no good way to spin this. They need to up their game quickly.
