SAN ANTONIO \u2013 Two unbeaten teams meet Friday night at South San Stadium when Southwest Legacy faces South San in KSAT 12\u2019s Big Game Coverage Game of the Week.<\/p>\n
The matchup features rivalry history, early-season momentum and an opportunity for both programs to see where they stand. <\/p>\n
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Friday. Robert Bruce\u2019s Southwest Legacy Titans, ranked No. 11 in Class 6A in 12\u2019s Top 12, will take on Phil Barron\u2019s South San Bobcats, ranked No. 12 in Class 5A.<\/p>\n
Southwest Legacy enters the game 2-0 as it prepares for its first run through District 30-6A. The Titans moved up to Class 6A this season and are looking to prove their early success can translate against tougher competition. <\/p>\n
\u201cMomentum\u2019s everything, especially moving up to 6A,\u201d Titans senior quarterback Aiden Garcia said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to get ready for new competition, more people. It\u2019s just a new ballgame all the way around compared to 5A.\u201d <\/p>\n
Legacy has already dealt with unusual early-season adversity. Its Week 1 game was delayed by weather and eventually kicked off at 9 a.m. on a Friday, forcing the Titans to adjust quickly. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe went into that Thursday game pumped up for the first week, and then we got shut down,\u201d Titans senior tight end and defensive end Devon Lucio said. \u201cWe had to carry that same momentum and excitement into the morning.\u201d <\/p>\n
South San is 1-0 and adjusting after graduating last season\u2019s starting quarterback and several key playmakers. Despite those losses, the Bobcats opened the season with a win and are looking to build on that performance. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was very important that we beat Harlandale, and they came out strong,\u201d South San junior quarterback Jacob Sepeda said. \u201cIt was a close fight, but we won that one inch.\u201d <\/p>\n
The Bobcats know they will face a major test against Legacy\u2019s speed and pressure. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re going to be a tough team,\u201d Bobcats junior running back Isaiah Rodriguez said. \u201cThey\u2019re fast and they blitz a lot, so we\u2019re going to be working on that this week.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re a pretty solid team,\u201d South San senior fullback and defensive end Cash Winters added. \u201cWe can\u2019t look past them. We have to do our prep, watch film, work and be on top of our game to beat them.\u201d <\/p>\n
The rivalry has grown in recent years, especially after the teams shared the same district last season. South San won last year\u2019s meeting late in the season with a playoff berth at stake, a result that still motivates the Titans. <\/p>\n
For both teams, Friday\u2019s matchup is also an important tune-up before district play begins.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving big games is very important for us,\u201d Bruce said. \u201cWe want to see how we respond in those situations. So far, our kids have responded, but there\u2019s still some stuff we need to address and work on. There\u2019s no perfect game. We strive for that, and right now, we\u2019re still striving for that.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cAfter Legacy, we have a bye week and then John Jay,\u201d Barron said. \u201cThis is a really good game to prepare us for our district opponents. Legacy is a 6A ball club, so we\u2019re looking forward to the challenge.\u201d <\/p>\n
KSAT 12 will have extended coverage of Southwest Legacy vs. South San later Friday night on the Nightbeat.<\/p>\n
