When: Friday, 7:30 p.m.
Where: Chaparral Stadium
Radio/TV: 1300 AM.
Records: Westlake 6-2, 4-1; Austin High 5-3, 3-2
Last season: Westlake won 42-14.
Series: Westlake leads 17-2.
Foe to know: Jacob Morgan – Will he or won’t he play? The rocket-armed senior QB, who leads the district in passing yards per game with 293, missed last week’s 14-7 loss to Bastrop because of a suspension. Maroon insiders say he should play this week.
Stat that matters: 121 – Combined catches for Thomas Coffman and Cayleb Jones, the top receiving duo in Central Texas.
Rundown: Maroons have lost two straight after opening year 5-1. … Offense averages 28 points a game with Morgan in lineup, but defense has been overlooked; Maroons have allowed average of 181.5 yards in last four district games. … Austin High has not topped 100 yards rushing in that span.
Picayune’s pick: Westlake 24, Austin High 14.
