Preview: Week 15 Players to Watch in Central Texas
Jack Densmore
Since COVID-19 has caused a lot of schedule shakeups and the outright canceling of the remaining regular-season games for some teams, there are really just two games that are worth a closer look but still plenty of talent to watch out for in Central Texas.
1. Westwood vs Round Rock (Friday at 7 p.m.)
<ul>
<li><strong>Israel Morgan (RR)</strong> - The senior running back for the Dragons is arguably the most elite back in Central Texas. He currently boasts 1,428 yards and 19 touchdowns this season while making sure to exceed 100 yards in every game and score a touchdown in every game. Morgan has had games where he has scored five touchdowns and four touchdowns while also rushing for over 250 yards against McNeil. Morgan is the most explosive back in Central Texas currently and will be one to watch in this rivalry game.</li>
<li><strong>Robbie Jeng (W)</strong> - The senior receiver has emerged as Westwood's senior quarterback <strong>R.J. Martinez</strong>'s favorite target this season. Most recently, Jeng has surged as an explosive receiver as just like week, he had 254 yards for two touchdowns against Hutto. Considering Jeng's recent hot streak, the Round Rock defense will likely be keeping an eye on him Friday night.</li>
<li><strong>Carson Otworth (RR)</strong> - Both senior defensive backs Otworth and <strong>Daveyon Finch</strong> have recorded three interceptions this season, but Otworth totals 10 pass deflections as well showing that he is always around the ball. Otworth's best game was against Hutto when he reeled in two interceptions and five pass deflections. Considering how quickly Otworth can get hot in the secondary, he is one to watch.</li>
</ul>
2. Lago Vista vs Llano (Friday at 7 p.m.)
<ul>
<li><strong>Case Kuykendall (L)</strong> - The senior quarterback is one of the most versatile in Central Texas, and considering the stakes of this game against Lago Vista, with it being the 3A D1 quarterfinals, Kuykendall will look to be even more explosive than this regular season to send Llano to the finals. Kuykendall has 1,758 passing yards and 23 touchdowns with three interceptions while also rushing for 1,212 yards and 14 touchdowns. Kuykendall is simply electric and this fact alone is worthy of a watch on Friday.</li>
<li><strong>Quincy Prince (L)</strong> - The other player to watch in this game is Kuykendall's favorite senior receiving target. Prince has recorded 35 receptions for 736 yards and 14 touchdowns. Prince recorded a touchdown in all but two games this season and his best performance came against San Saba when he had 146 yards and three touchdowns on Sept. 18. Prince is explosive off the snap and Kuykendall will likely look to him for some more big plays when Llano takes on Lago Vista at AC Bible Memorial Stadium.</li>
