Rundown: Westlake has never faced Stevens, a third-year school in San Antonio’s Northside school district that made its playoff debut last week. … Falcons rarely venture from their shotgun-based ground game, which averages 283 yards rushing per game and has tallied just 318 yards passing all season. … Stevens forced three turnovers and held Judson to 128 yards rushing, almost 200 below the Rockets’ season average. … The Falcons went 1-5 against playoff-qualifying teams and finished fourth in District 28-5A. … Four runners have at least 250 yards for Stevens.
Picayune’s pick: Westlake 42, Stevens 17.
