Yoakum at Jourdanton
The Bulldogs close out the regular season with a road trip to Jourdanton.
“They are real big and physical,” Yoakum head coach Brent Kornegay said.
The Indians are an option football team, using the midline or the veer system. They are multiple with I formation, double slot and spread.
The Indians will throw the ball some. Edward Ruiz will catch passes and run the football some; Diego Huddleston is the team’s leading rusher and Jourdanton plays two quarterbacks — Ray Ruiz and Ian Hons.
“We need to prevent the big play and make stops. Jourdanton will run three yards and a cloud of dust, trying to keep our offense off the field,” Kornegay said.
Jourdanton’s defense comes out in the 4-3 system.
“We just need to eliminate turnovers and do what we do well,” Kornegay said.
Yoakum more or less has a place in the playoffs for the third season in a row.
“There are lots of scenarios but a Cuero win over Ingleside will put us as the second seed at worse,” Kornegay said.
