Dripping Springs rose to the challenge and dominated the unbeaten Johnson Jaguars, 52-7. Dripping Springs continues its undefeated season thanks to its high-powered offense led by junior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="121942" first="Austin" last="Novosad"] and senior running back [player_tooltip player_id="131360" first="Preston" last="Alford"]. Here are the top players from the contest.
1. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="131360" first="Preston" last="Alford"] (SR-RB) - Dripping Springs High School (Dripping Springs, T</strong>X)
Stats: 132 rushing yards, 2 rushing touchdowns
Another solid outing for Alford continuing an excellent consistent season. There is not much else to say that has not already been said. Alford is arguably the best running back in Central Texas and for good reason.
2. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="121942" first="Austin" last="Novosad"] (JR-QB) - Dripping Springs High School (Dripping Springs, TX)</strong>
Stats: 218 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns
Much in the vein of Alford, Novosad has been solid all year long but what makes him more exciting is the fact that he has another year to go. However, this outing against an unbeaten Johnson team further showcases his talent.
3. <strong>Kyle Koch (SO-WR) - Dripping Springs High School (Dripping Springs, TX)</strong>
Stats: 11 receptions, 124 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns
Koch also showcased that he will have an excellent next two years with Dripping Springs. He had a solid game all around, and that continues after his performance against Harlandale. One of his highlights includes a 23-yard touchdown reception.
4. <strong>Wyatt Leschber (SR-DL) - Dripping Springs High School (Dripping Springs, TX)</strong>
Stats: 7 total tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks
5. <strong>Ethan McAlister (JR-WR) - Johnson High School (Buda, TX)</strong>
Stats: 2 receptions, 44 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown
Despite the offensive problems for Johnson, McAlister still had a solid outing. He showcased excellent route-running abilities and how good his hands are, even when under tight coverage.
