Preview of Lake v. Alvin from the Chronicle

Clear Lake coach Troy Aduddell isn't surprised with Alvin's 3-0 start.

"Alvin is putting a lot of points on the board, and their running back (White) and quarterback (Kohler) are two of the main reasons," Aduddell said. "After leading early, and then losing the lead, Alvin came back strong to beat Baytown Sterling last week. Alvin is throwing well, they're running well and they're playing well right now." more

He’s optimistic about the boys catching on quickly to plays, making good adjustments, and predicts better defense from us than Hastings had against North Shore.    He discussed the Coaches’ ongoing evaluation of the boys in their positions to find the best player for the team.
