Key Players to Watch

Conroe:

• Christian Nunley has been efficient in the passing game, racking up 123.5 yards per game. He will be vital in balancing Conroe’s offense.
• Jalen Mayon is the team’s top receiver, with 53.1 yards per game, making him a key target for Nunley.

Defensive Strengths

On the defensive side, Conroe has been solid, averaging 37.2 tackles per game and getting consistent pressure with 3.5 sacks per game. However, they will need to shore up their second-half defense to keep up with Bridgeland’s explosive attack.

Bridgeland boasts a very efficient defense as well, with Cole Fattig leading the team with 1.0 sack per game. However, their strength lies in limiting big plays, as they allow only 165 points on the season, a strong defensive record compared to Conroe’s 209.

They’ve proven to be dominant at home and on the road, with a perfect 5-0 away record.
