Freshman Lee vs. Angleton scrimmage

The Lee Ganders freshman team looked like a bunch that had only been practicing together for a few weeks against Angleton.  Angleton runs the same system from 7th grade on up from what I am told, so this would lend towards the Wildcats looking more sure of what they were doing.

Angleton plays a high pressure style of defense.  They blitz every single play off of the corners.  They play bump and run on all four receivers.

There was a party in the Lee backfield on every offensive play and all of the Angleton defenders were invited.

The Lee defense had minimal success.  Angleton's offense was able to execute much better than Lee's offense.  Again, this goes back to Angleton running the same offense in junior high while Lee does not have that luxury really.

The players that impressed me most for Lee were #13, #14, #20 and #8.

#13 was the first team quarterback.  The few times he was able to get past the initial swarming Angleton defense, he had a little bit of speed and athleticism to him.  He was also able to throw the ball with some zip on it.

#14 was a tall rangy receiver/safety.  He ended up playing some for the JV and the varsity as well.  He has some speed and height to him.  They just didn't give the quarterback enough time to find him.

#20 was a rb/lb.  He never really had the room to run, but he was tough to tackle.

#8 was the backup running back and he was also pretty shifty.

I think if Lee were to play Angleton in about 5 weeks, they would have a much better chance to hang with them.  Right now, Lee was just too rusty and could not execute well enough to give Angleton much competition.
