This won't be easy for LP, but a win is sure possible. They don't want to play like they did the first half against Anderson though. They may have learned something from watching Ball stop A&MC's offense.
LP played Katy in 6A 2008, 09, 11 & 12 in either quarters or semis pending year. (Katy & LP were both knocked out in Area in 2010.) LP’s longtime Coach Jeff LaReau retired in 2017 I believe it was, and LP moved down to 5A. LP went through a couple bad choices (Ex Crosby D coach, & Clear Springs coach) that were bad fits and set them back a few years until they talked Berneathy into leaving Pasadena Dobie and coming back as HC. Since then, they’ve been getting back to blue collar, hard-nosed LP football & the program is getting back on track. Participation is back up, the new $59MM stadium will be complete for next year, and the community is excited again.
This is Berneathy’s 3rd full year. So far, he has 2 District Championships without playing a single home game for over 2 years straight.
LP is 23-6 overall, and 17-1 (Split between 9-5A & 11-5A) in District in those 2 years. PO record is 2-1.
