Top 10 Moments of the 2018-19 DFW Sports Season: #2

So much for looking ahead.

With a huge showdown against Round Rock looming, the Vandegrift Vipers could have easily looked past a struggling Westwood squad. Instead, Vandegrift scored on a long Miles Teodecki-to-Brock Chilton pass in the 88th second of the game to set the tone. The Vipers added three more touchdowns in the first quarter alone -- a Brendan Fournier rushing touchdown; a Teodecki-to-Marcion Williamson scoring pass; and Caleb “Cj” Mooring’s second Pick Six in as many weeks – to lead 28-0 after the first quarter.

Fournier (9-83, 2 TDs) scored again in the second quarter, followed by a Kent Sullivan 1-yard plunge to send the Vipers to the locker room leading 42-0.

The Austin High Maroons held off a late surge by the Bowie Bulldogs to seize the fourth and final playoff spot out of District 26-6A with a clutch 35-32 victory Friday (11/1) at House Park in the VYPE/ESPN Austin Central Texas High School Football Game of the Week.

Senior running back Bryson Batts (13-77, 2 TDs) and junior running back Reid Childers (11-27, 2 TDs) did most of their damage on the ground, with each rushing for two touchdowns. Senior quarterback John Latham (12-16, 147 Yds., TD) also connected with Batts on a 25-yard touchdown pass that gave the Maroons a 28-14 lead late in the first half. A late Bulldogs field goal trimmed the halftime lead to 28-17.
