Both teams are competing hard in their respective districts, but their statistics and outcomes highlight different strengths and challenges. Here’s a closer look at each team’s performance and key statistics to understand how they compare.
Lampasas Football Overview
The Lampasas football team has shown exceptional performance this season with a strong 9-2 overall record. They have excelled in both district and non-district games, holding a 3-1 record within the district and a 5-1 mark in non-league play. Their overall win percentage stands at an impressive .818, while their district win percentage is a solid .750.
The team’s offense has been potent, averaging 447 yards per game, and they score 33.3 points on average. Lampasas is particularly dominant in their rushing game, averaging 245.5 rushing yards per game. Senior standout Reed Jerome has been a key player for Lampasas, leading the team in multiple categories, including rushing yards (82.1 per game), passing yards (180.7 per game), and total yards (263.4 per game). Jerome has also contributed significantly to the team’s scoring with 12 points per game.
Lampasas’ offense is known for its consistent scoring throughout the game, averaging 13.2 points in the first quarter, 15.2 in the second, 6.9 in the third, and 7.5 in the fourth quarter, culminating in 40.8 points per game.
Dumas Football Overview
On the other hand, the Dumas football team has had a more challenging season, with a 5-6 overall record. Their district performance has been below par, with a 2-3 record. However, their non-league play has shown some improvement, boasting a 3-4 mark. The team’s overall win percentage stands at .455, and their district win percentage is .400.
Dumas struggles with consistency in scoring, averaging only 34.6 points per game, with a noticeable dip in their second and fourth quarters. Their offensive production is more balanced, with no standout in either the rushing or passing categories. The team averages 381 total yards per game, but their scoring averages (12.0 in the first quarter, 7.0 in the second, 9.3 in the third, and 4.7 in the fourth) suggest they need to focus on closing out games more effectively.
Team Stat Comparison
When comparing the overall stats of Lampasas and Dumas, the differences are striking. Lampasas leads significantly in key areas such as rushing yards per game (245.5), passing yards per game (201.5), and receiving yards per game (200.9). Their total yardage of 447 yards per game far surpasses Dumas’ 381 yards. Lampasas also boasts a higher points per game average at 33.3, a figure that highlights their more potent offense.
Dumas, however, has struggled with their rushing and passing game, as reflected by the lack of standout individual players in these categories. The team will need to improve their offensive execution if they hope to compete at a higher level in future seasons.
Key Players
For Lampasas, Reed Jerome has been the standout player, making significant contributions both in the running game and the passing game. He leads the team in rushing yards, passing yards, and total yards, establishing himself as one of the most dynamic players in the district.
Dumas does not feature a player with comparable overall stats, but their team continues to fight hard with a solid roster. With some adjustments, the Dumas team could still make an impact, especially with improvements in consistency across all four quarters.
Record Breakdown and Head-to-Head Comparison
The two teams are quite different in their record breakdowns. Lampasas has a much stronger record in all categories—home games (5-1), away games (4-1), and in-state games (9-2)—while Dumas has struggled more on the road (3-4) and within the district (2-3). The head-to-head comparison, however, is yet to unfold, as they have not faced off directly this season. It will be interesting to see how these two teams perform when they meet in a potential future game.
Conclusion
As Lampasas prepares for the next phase of their season, they will aim to build on their dominant performances. With their high-scoring offense and solid defense, they are well-positioned to make a deep playoff run. In contrast, Dumas faces a more uphill battle, needing to improve on both sides of the ball. While they have a lot of potential, their inconsistency this season has prevented them from breaking through. The contrast between these two teams highlights how important offensive balance and execution are to achieving success in high school football.
