I predict that the Westbrook Wildcats will win this game, 54-48. The Wildcats are playing at home, and they have a more experienced running game in Gilbreath. The Longhorns will need to find a way to slow down Gilbreath and the Wildcats’ rushing attack if they want to win this game.
The key to this game will be which team can control the clock and the tempo. Both teams are high-powered offenses, so the defense will need to come up with some big plays.
The Westbrook Wildcats will need to protect Gilbreath and give him time to run. They will also need to find a way to slow down Jurado and the Longhorns’ running attack.
The Buena Vista Longhorns will need to pressure Gilbreath and force him into mistakes. They will also need to find a way to protect their quarterback, Caden Valdez, and give him time to throw.
