James Lehman rushed for 133 yards on 22 carries and R.J. Maryland caught three touchdown passes from QB Kaden Anderson as Southlake Carroll, undefeated at 6-0, withstood an early fight from Keller (5-1) before cruising to a 49-13 victory on Friday afternoon.
Keller Takes an Early Lead
Keller’s Seth Henry caught a pass for QB Tre Guerra pass raced 77 yards to the Dragons seven-yard line on Keller’s first play from scrimmage. Guerra then found Amarion Henry on the next play for a touchdown to put Keller up early at 6-0.
Carroll answered back with a six-play, 43-yard scoring drive. RB Owen Allen carried the ball on every play, culminating in a five-yard touchdown run. Keller regained the lead 13-7 when Guerra connected with Henry for an 82-yard touchdown pass.
Allen later exited the game with an injury late in the first quarter and did not return to the game.
Carroll took over the game with a 21-point explosion in the second quarter. Lehman scored on an 8-yard run to give Carroll a 14-13 just seconds into the quarter. Anderson found Maryland for a 32-yard touchdown pass and Lehman again added a 1-yard touchdown to put Carroll up 28-13 at halftime.
Anderson passed for three touchdowns in the second half to turn the game into a blowout. He found Maryland again on touchdown throws in the red zone of 16 and 11 yards. WR Landon Samson caught an Anderson pass and broke away for a 74-yard touchdown pass to close out the scoring for the Dragons.
