Southlake Carroll was loaded from top to bottom last season, but the 2026 squad is ready to write its own story. With a mix of experienced veterans and new head coach Lee Munn new faces stepping into bigger roles, the Dragons enter the season hungry to compete, prove themselves and keep the standard high in Southlake.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>How Can The Dragons Maintain the High Tempo Offense?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Southlake Carroll may have a new quarterback in QB [player_tooltip player_id='1690029' first='Hudson' last='Tomcheck'], but the Dragons have plenty of returning talent around him to keep the offense rolling. Tomcheck will have a strong group of playmakers at his disposal, led by running back RB [player_tooltip player_id='1815955' first='Brooks' last='Biggers'] and a talented receiving corps featuring WR [player_tooltip player_id='484203' first='Brody' last='Knowles'], WR [player_tooltip player_id='1738920' first='Blake' last='Gunter'], WR Thomas Joyner and WR [player_tooltip player_id='1815797' first='Dez' last='Bryant Jr']. Up front, OL Ty McMurry, OL [player_tooltip player_id='1546560' first='Tristan' last='Dare'], OL [player_tooltip player_id='1772862' first='Luke' last='Wilson'] and OL [player_tooltip player_id='1571051' first='Mapa' last='Vainuku'] give the Dragons experience along the offensive line, providing the foundation needed to keep the tempo high and create opportunities downfield. If this group can stay on the same page and Tomcheck settles into the offense early, Southlake Carroll has the pieces to once again make its offense one of the toughest units to slow down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Can the Young Dragons Defense Make the Key Stops Against Jenks?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While the Dragons return plenty of talent on offense, the defense will have a different challenge with a younger group stepping into bigger roles. DB [player_tooltip player_id='2251501' first='Trent' last='Furgal'], DB [player_tooltip player_id='2135244' first='Landon' last='Harris'] and Edge [player_tooltip player_id='2251520' first='Kyle' last='Duross'] will be among the players to watch as Southlake Carroll looks to build consistency on the defensive side of the ball. The Dragons will need their young defenders to grow up quickly, communicate and play with confidence against a Jenks offense that will look to test them early. The key will be avoiding big plays, winning on third down and finding ways to get off the field when it matters most. If Furgal, Harris, Duross and the rest of the defense can handle the pressure while the returning veterans provide leadership, this group has a chance to make the key stops that could ultimately decide the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2346584,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/08/image_6fb48c.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2346584" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>LETS GET TO KNOW POWERHOUSE Trojans JENKS (OK )</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jenks Looking to Carry 2025 Momentum Into 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jenks is coming off a strong 10-2 season in 2025 and will enter this matchup with plenty of confidence. After building momentum throughout last season, the Trojans are looking to carry that success into 2026 and prove they are ready for another big run. Coming to Southlake to face the Dragons will give Jenks an early opportunity to make a statement, and they will be looking to set the tone from the opening kickoff. With a winning mindset already established, expect Jenks to come in aggressive and ready for the challenge. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2346608,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/08/image_a7092a.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2346608" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Can Jenks Keep Its High-Powered Offense Rolling Against the Dragons?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jenks enters this matchup with an offense that averaged 40 points per game last season, giving Southlake Carroll another major challenge to prepare for. The Trojans have several key pieces capable of keeping that production going, starting with quarterback Landon Kizzar, who will be tasked with leading the offense and making plays when the game gets tight. Kalib Dillard (Florida Commit) Tight end Braxton Daniel gives Jenks another reliable option, while running back Cade Hodges brings another dimension to the ground game. Up front, LT Odaefe Oruru, an Arkansas commit, gives the Trojans a proven talent along the offensive line. With playmakers at every level, Jenks has the firepower to put pressure on the Dragons defense from the opening drive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Can the Jenks Defense Slow Down the Dragons?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While Jenks has plenty of firepower on offense, its defense will have an equally important job against a talented Southlake Carroll unit. The Trojans will need to find a way to disrupt [player_tooltip player_id='1690029' first='Hudson' last='Tomcheck'], contain [player_tooltip player_id='1815955' first='Brooks' last='Biggers'] and limit the Dragons' collection of weapons on the outside. With Southlake Carroll expected to play with tempo, Jenks cannot afford to give up easy yards or allow the Dragons to find a rhythm early. The biggest question will be whether the Trojans can win the early downs, create pressure and come up with key stops in the moments that matter. If Jenks can force Southlake Carroll into difficult situations, this could turn into a battle between two teams capable of putting points on the board.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2346628,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/08/Default-Gameday-10422544.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2346628" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When Southlake Carroll and Jenks take the field tomorrow night, both programs will have plenty to prove. The Dragons enter with the confidence and expectations that come with a 14-1 season, while Jenks brings the momentum of a 10-2 campaign and an offense that knows how to put points on the board. With Southlake Carroll looking to see what its new faces can bring and Jenks aiming to carry its success into 2026, this matchup should provide an early look at two programs determined to set the tone for the season. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at Southlake Carroll, and this is a game that should have fans watching from the opening snap to the final whistle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
