WHITE KNOLL AT LEXINGTON
The Timberwolves of White Knoll are unbeaten with a high-powered offense fueled by their quarterback play. Lexington is not flashy but have managed a 5-1 record and played at least three quality games, going 2-1 in those match ups.
This Wildcat team defense is as good as any in the Midlands and they may have the best group of linebackers in the state collectively. Offensively, running backs Ahmad Bynem-Scott and Taylor Mathias are the leaders.
White Knoll success begins and ends with QB Aveon Smith. The senior signal caller has 598 yds rushing and 8 TDs and has passed for 854 yds and 16 TDs.
Players to watch: White Knoll QB Aveon Smith, WR Darius Derrik-Jones, RB TJ Peebles; Lexington LBs Josiah Schrodt, David Cromer and Levi Gulasa; RBs Ahmad Bynem-Scott and Taylor Mathias
My Pick: Lexington
