2011 Westlake Football Preview

Week 3, A&M Consolidated, Tiger Wars- A New Beginning

Thursday, August 25, 2011 | Thomas Jones

The Tigers may no longer run the Wing-T offense that helped them to an 11-2 record and a District 12-5A championship last season, but expect a heavy dose of speedy RB Quentin White in new coach David Raffield’s spread offense.

Week 4, Pflugerville: Pfun in Pflugerville

Thursday, August 25, 2011 | Thomas Jones

For a program used to success, last season’s 5-5 record and playoff absence proved a profound disappointment.

Week 5, New Braunfels: Facing a Legend

Thursday, August 25, 2011 | Thomas Jones

Last season’s wild Westlake win proved an anomaly for New Braunfels, which didn’t allow any other foe to top 30 points during a 6-5 campaign in 2010.

Week 6, Anderson: Game of Thrones

Thursday, August 25, 2011 | Thomas Jones

Anderson went 10-2 a year ago and won its first playoff game as a Class 5A program, but a tumultuous off-season threw a wrench into the Trojans’ momentum.

Week 7, Austin High: Highlander

Thursday, August 25, 2011 | Thomas Jones

Where’s Cayleb Jones? The Maroons, who went 4-7 a year ago, want to keep the Chaps guessing on the whereabouts of the best playmaker in the district.

Week 8, Del Valle: Valle whirl

Thursday, August 25, 2011 | Thomas Jones

Del Valle has speed to burn, but the program must find enough depth to match its playmaking potential if it hopes to contend for a playoff spot.

Week 9, Akins: Where Eagles Dare

Thursday, August 25, 2011 | Thomas Jones

Akins’ diminutive hopes of qualifying for its first-ever playoff spot rest on the legs of returning RB D’Auuhndre Raindle and athletic newcomer Rakim Jackson, a 6-5 hoops star who will handle duties at quarterback.

Week 10, Bowie: Clash of the Titans

Thursday, August 25, 2011 | Thomas Jones

Other than a likely district championship, the top Division I playoff seed and bragging rights that stretch across South Austin, not much will be at stake in this titanic end to the regular season.

Picayune’s picks: 2011 preseason

Thursday, August 25, 2011 | Thomas Jones

District finish overall 15-5A enrollment 1.

2010 Season in review: Chaps take step back in Allman’s 2nd season

Thursday, August 25, 2011 | Thomas Jones

AUSTIN – It took a rare rally, but Lake Travis maintained its streak of excellence before the feisty but frustrated Chaparrals.
