LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – The Lubbock High Westerners are still searching for their first win of the season, as they welcome in unbeaten San Angelo Lake View this afternoon. In spite of their 0-2 start, Lubbock High head coach Juan Rodriguez believes his team continues to make strides on and off the field. <\/p>\n
\u201cDefinitely the intensity is still there, I\u2019m really proud of our kids. They had a great fought game last week (in a 21-10 loss to Coronado), and I know that we showed improvements on both sides of the ball, but definitely right now I think we would have to lean to our defense. It\u2019s doing an amazing job. We\u2019re able to do some things defensively we haven\u2019t been able to do in the last couple of years\u201d. <\/p>\n
The Chiefs are off to a hot start this year, and that includes a 41-19 season-opening win against Fort Stockton followed with a 62-0 blanking of Snyder. Coach Rodriguez appreciates how Lake View head coach Hector Guevara has built a successful program there in the Concho Valley. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re great friends and that\u2019s one of the reasons that we play each other and we\u2019re going to continue to do that as long as I think we\u2019re both at the helm. I\u2019m just really excited to see what he\u2019s done with his program, he\u2019s a guy that I\u2019ve learned a lot from in the last couple of years about things that we do both within our program and the infrastructure of our program,\u201d he said. \u201cTheir offense is really good, and they are consistent very well. They stack their plays, they know what the defense is doing and they\u2019re going to try to exploit you where they can.\u201d <\/p>\n
The game kicks off 4 p.m. at PlainsCapital Park, and can be seen on KCBD.com and the KCBD Streaming App. <\/p>\n
