Centex D1 PW Championship
Westlake Black Chaps versus East Austin Yellow Jackets
7:00 PM November 3, 2007
Hendrickson High School
2905 FM 685
Pflugerville, TX 78660

• Chaps offense versus Yellow Jackets defense
o Chaps offensive line versus Yellow Jackets defensive line – Even. Chaps OL is big, strong and fundamentally sound. Yellow Jackets defensive line is quick off the ball and disruptive led by #2. EA penetration keeps Chap OL from getting blocks on the second level. Look for some good individual battles, double teams, and games in the trenches.
o Chaps rb’s versus Yellow Jackets lb’s – Edge Yellow Jackets. Chaps were never able to get #38 outside to use his speed in the last game while #22 was the work horse off tackle in the power running game. Jackets pursuit speed at linebacker kept the Chaps contained led by #1.
o Chaps passing game versus Yellow Jackets db’s – Edge Chaps. Chaps hit two 40+ yard plays on the Yellow Jackets on fourth down in the first half of the last game. In the second half the Jackets began getting better pressure, forcing the ball out quickly and ended up with a pick. #81 has speed to score if he can get the ball in space.
o X factors – QB #2 ability to break contain and get some big runs. Pass protection.

• Yellow Jacket offense versus Chaps defense
o Yellow Jacket offensive line versus Chaps defensive line – Even. Chaps DL is strong while Yellow Jackets OL is quick off the ball and throws multiple blocks. Key Chaps defenders were pancaked on East Austin TD runs.
o Yellow Jacket rb’s versus Chaps lb’s – Edge Yellow Jackets. Yellow Jackets pounded the ball between the tackles led by a stellar game from #4. It will be interesting to see what adjustments will the Chaps coaches make to try to slow the East Austin power run game, if any.
o Yellow Jacket passing game versus Chaps db’s – Edge Chaps. Chaps ended up with several picks as the EA passing game was not clicking in the last match-up and was no factor.
o X factors – QB #7 ability to break contain and get some big runs. Accuracy in passing game.

• Special teams
o Conversions – Even. Both teams can convert kicks for two pointers.
o Kickoff coverage – Edge Yellow Jackets. Yellow Jackets heat seeking missiles strike fear in the heart of returners.
o Kickoff return – Edge Yellow Jackets. Yellow Jackets returners a threat to score anytime they touch the ball.
• Intangibles
o Yellow Jackets won the first match-up 34-8
o The Yellow Jackets won this match-up in last years’ D1 JPW Championship with the same core players on both teams.
o Chaps coaches have won the D1 PW Championship game the last two years.
o Yellow Jackets have too much speed and athleticism for the Chaps. The Chaps typically don’t like to change what they do and depend on good execution. It would appear that it will take a creative game plan and significant scheme adjustments for the Chaps to have a chance to win. Yellow Jackets coaches have shown the ability to make the right in-game adjustments. It will be interesting to see both of these coaching staffs work their magic.
o Edge – Yellow Jackets
• Chaps come out determined and hitting, but East Austin is just too much in the end. 37-16 Yellow Jackets.
