Hudson touched the ball 17 times for 217-yards and 2 touchdowns on Thursday night this week. The Lake Belton wide receiver continues to raise his game every week and he did that again this week. Hudson is a wide receiver to watch out for the rest of the season. He is off to a tremendous first month of the season.

Freshman quarterback Hank Hendrix Hank Hendrix 6'2" | 160 lbs | QB Boerne | 2027 State TX has had an impressive debut this season. On Friday night, the Boerne signal caller connected with his wide receivers on multiple touchdown passes.

Hendrix is a player to watch as the season progresses.

Taylor Tatum Taylor Tatum 5'11" | 195 lbs | RB Longview | 2024 State TX is a running back that is having a great season for Longview. He is a difficult running back to bring down and can run over opposing defenders. Tatum is a running back that gets better the more he carries he gets. The Longview running back continues to find the end zone and is putting together a fantastic start to the season. Keep an eye on Tatum for the rest of the season.
Jalen Cooper Jalen Cooper 6'2" | 165 lbs | WR Cibolo Steele | 2025 State TX -Wide Receiver-Steele-2025
Jalen Cooper Jalen Cooper 6'2" | 165 lbs | WR Cibolo Steele | 2025 State TX did a great job of creating separation and getting open on Friday night. Cooper has the speed and route running to create separation from opposing defensive backs. The Steele wide receiver found the end zone several times Friday night. Cooper is off to a great start this season and I do not expect that to slow down any time soon.
Mabrey Mettauer Mabrey Mettauer 6'5" | 215 lbs | QB The Woodlands | 2024 State TX -Quarterback-The Woodlands-2025
Over the past few weeks, Mettauer has opened plenty of eyes this season. He is a quarterback that can hurt you with his arm or his legs. The Woodlands signal caller had another strong night passing this week. He threw for 416-yards and 6 touchdowns on the night. Mettauer is a quarterback that is putting up great numbers and I expect the solid level of play to continue as the season progresses.
