What they’re saying: “I thought we did a lot of good things against Canyon, but there are a lot of things we need to get fixed and polished up to get where we need to be before our season opener Saturday night. We have a lot of work to do before district play begins,” Hays head coach Blake Feldt.
Players to Watch:
Hays: QB Caleb Kimbro, WR Granger Studdard, OL William Trevillion, OL Reed Darragh, RB Jaxson Schaubhut, DE Kyle Cox, LB Devin Jennings, CB Christian Rodriguez, Jared Rodriguez.
Burbank: OL/DL Michael Gonzales, RB/LB Damien Gusme, QB/SS Francisco Villalobos, WR/DB Marcos Luna.
Intangibles: Start your “Little Sisters of the Poor” jokes here. Hays takes on a Burbank team playing in one of the weakest football districts in San Antonio to open the season Saturday night. This is the same Burbank team that managed only one win last season and is picked to finish last in District 28-4A. Hays’ record-setting quarterback Kimbro and his Rebel teammates should have no trouble naming the score against the Bulldogs. Don’t look for the first teamers to play much past the first half. This one could get ugly in a hurry.
Hays Free Press prediction: Hays 42, Burbank 7
