Week 10 of Texas High School Football is here and to start it off on Saturday, October 28th, 2023 The C.E King Panthers vs The Summer Creek Bulldogs. This will be a game between two great and underrated teams in Houston. I was excited to see how this game turned out.
C.E King
Honestly, C.E. King’s performance was not the best in this game. They have great playmakers like running back #3 Dionne Sims and wide receiver #0 Vincent Jones, but they did not get many chances to ball out thanks to Summer Creek’s defense. Quarterback #1 Darius Clark-James was getting punished and rushed the entire game. This resulted in Darius missing a lot of his targets and 2 interception throws. However, in the 1st quarter, Darius scored the only touchdown for C.E King the whole game.
When Darius did have opportunities to stay in the pocket and air the ball out he found senior wide receiver #17 Rae’G Dailey. Rae’G this game caught the most passes and gained the most yards out of all the wide receivers he was quick, elusive, and resilient. If Darius managed to spread the ball out more C.E. King could have played neck-to-neck with Summer Creek.
Summer Creek
Summer Creek on the other hand played an amazing game. Their run-heavy offense was successful due to #25 running back Lloyd “Babyface” Avant he had 24 carries for 180 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Lloyd was running all through King’s defense the whole night, but he wasn’t the only one to worry about. Whenever quarterback #2 Blake Thomas wasn’t passing the ball he was mobile and great at scrambling. Blake even found an opening to rush in for a touchdown run and with his two touchdown passes, he had three total touchdowns.
Even though Summer Creek is run-heavy the wide receivers were still shown love. Both senior #8 Kordell Rodgers and freshman #10 Tre Brown only got two passes each, but still both got one touchdown each. I’m curious about freshman receiver Tre and his future on Summer Creek’s roster.
Game Recap
The final score of the game was 33-12 with Summer Creek coming out on top. Next week is the last week of the regular season for Texas High School Football. Next week The C.E King Panthers will be hosting The West Brook Bruins and The Summer Creek Bulldogs will be traveling to The Atascocita Eagles since they’re neck and neck in the rankings that will make an interesting game.
