I don't know alot about Van, but let me give you some info on Palestine. Plaestine played an outstanding game against Navasota last night and lost 28-20, but they were in the game to the end.
Palestine on offense if very fast and the QB and RB have the quickest feet you will see in 3A. Both change directions very well and have excellent field vision. The receivers are pretty good and have good speed. They used several players at receiver and all were pretty good. The offensive line is not large but very athletic and holds blocks very well.
On defense, the entire team is quick and athletic. They fly to the ball and have a scheme that includes a varied and multiple blitz package that will make the opposing offensive line have to be very smart. Navasota had the most success running quick hitters and anything to the outside seemed to be shut down. Thier pass defense is outstanding, partially because they get good pressure on the passer.
Palestine has the tools to be a force in thier district, and I hope that Navasota dosen't have to face them in the playoffs. They don't quit and will really hit you hard on every play. They don't quit.
Look for Palestine to play very tough in this game and Van will have to control the lines of scrimmage on both sides of the ball to win. If Palestine gets on a roll, they will keep rolling and shock some really good teams. I think they have the team that could win thier district if they can build a little momentum.
