Southwest, however, excels in rushing, posting 211.3 yards per game, and holds a balanced total of 363.4 yards per game. Although Seguin has the advantage in passing (245.1 yards to 152.1 for Southwest), Southwest’s strong rushing game has been key to their undefeated season.

Seguin‘s standout players include Ian Moreno, who leads the team with 112.8 rushing yards per game, and Corey Dailey, who has accumulated 237.9 passing yards per game.

Southwest, however, has been perfect across all categories, with a flawless 10-0 overall record and an 8-0 district performance.

When comparing home and away records, Seguin holds a 2-3 home record, while Southwest remains undefeated at home (4-0) and on the road (6-0). This dominance on the road and in district play has been a major factor in Southwest’s success.

Conclusion

While Seguin has had a solid season, their struggles on the defensive end and in second-quarter scoring have limited their ability to challenge stronger teams. Southwest, on the other hand, has proven to be a well-rounded team, excelling both offensively and defensively. With their undefeated record and superior scoring, they are a team to watch as the season progresses.

For Seguin, adjustments on defense and more consistent scoring across all four quarters will be crucial if they hope to contend with top-tier teams in the future. Meanwhile, Southwest looks poised for a deep playoff run as they continue to dominate both on the ground and through the air.
