6A D1 State Championship game   Southlake Carrol 34 - Westlake Austin 54     Quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="60687" first="Quinn" last="Ewers"], the Ohio state buckeyes commit, looked more dialed in this game with something to prove after the previous week's subpar performance. Per sources, the QB had been dealing with injury and not exactly at his best. Nonetheless, still playing and able to put on a good performance in the 6A Division 1 championship round. Being 12 of 17 with 215 yards passing and 2 touchdowns in the game. Another Carrol Dragon to look out for in 2021 would be running back Owen Allen, who finished the season with amazing stats, had two touchdowns in this game, and was held to just 40 yards on the ground on 15 carries. When just the previous week he lead the defeat over Duncanville with 192 yards rushing against a team that was ranked NO.5 in the nation at the time.   However, in the final matchup of the Texas high school football season between father and son, Riley Dodge and father Todd Dodge. Austin Westlake was able to pull out a victory and it was a well-played match up that did not disappoint. The win was large in credit to the play of Austin Westlake's Quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="60713" first="Cade" last="Klubnik"], the four-star recruit helped Westlake accumulate 528 yards of offense, including 308 yards rushing. He finished with 220 yards of passing and touchdown to pair with it 97 yards rushing and to scores earning him the offensive MVP award of the game. Cade is a very dynamic QB who can beat you with his legs or through the air, that's why he has multiple offers from the University of Texas, Baylor, Florida State, LSU, and Miami, just to name a few.   Yale commit running back [player_tooltip player_id="60490" first="Zane" last="Minors"] , helped aid in the rushing attack with 137 yards rushing of his own and who couldn't forget the 75-yard rushing touchdown he scored to kick off the game for Westlake's first offensive play of the game. Running back Grey Bakfoor rushed for three touchdowns and hurdled a Carrol Defender on another run.   This game made history by being one of the highest-scoring games in Division I title game history since Allen beat Pearland 63-21 with future Oklahoma Heisman and NFL former first-round draft pick -- Kyle Murray. When you looked at Westlake's offense they seemed to be very balanced and methodically marching the ball up and down the field.   Todd Dodge and his team go back-to-back in the state titles. Westlake will be looking for a 3-peat in 2021.
