Freshman Red Comes Back Strong Against Keller 45-14

As predicted on this page (they don't call me The Man for nothing), the freshmen came back with a vengeance this week, racking up 416 yards of total offense and holding the Indians to -8 net rushing yards.

Northwest started fast with Reggie McDaniel running 29 yards for his first of two rushing touchdowns on the Texans' fourth play from scrimmage. Keller answered quickly as well, however, with a 70 yard scoring drive to tie the game at 6-6. The Texans would take charge after that, going up 14-6 on a 20-yard touchdown run by Cade Garner. Garner would later hit Ethan Davis on a beautiful pass and catch in the end zone to go up 14 points. Dusty Cloud added a touchdown pass of his own when he hit Cameron Watkins on the post for 35 yards. Cloud then switched from thrower to receiver and caught Garner's second touchdown pass for 41 yards just before halftime, to take a 33-8 lead at the break.

In the second half, the Texans would add two more touchdowns, the first on McDaniel's second touchdown run, this one for 18 yards. Then Jacob Parker would top it off with a 43-yard scamper through the heart of the Keller defense for a touchdown and a season-high 45 points for the game.

This Keller team was by no means the best our boys have faced, but nor were they the worst. Our boys played well on both sides of the ball as well as on special teams and dominated the game from start to finish. Congratulations on bouncing back so strong and returning to winning form. Now let's take it to Coppell! Go Red!

CORRECTION: I credited Reggie McDaniel with two touchdowns, when actually, the referees had called him down at the 1-yard line on the run in the second half, and Cade Garner ran it in on the next play.
