This will be the first game Lufkin will have their starting QB Javion Johnson who was injured in Lufkin's scrimmage with Huntsville.   Tyler is loaded with skilled players who found success making it to the semi finals of the State 7 0n 7 Tournament this year. 

Lufkin opens district at home next week against Barbers Hill, Tyler will begin district play next week against @ Highland Park.

It looks like Tyler won this game last year and both team look to be much improved.  I think Lufkin may struggle a little out of the box bringing the QB back in, but the Lufkin D will help in that transition. I see Lufkin by 14 as Tyler should struggle to score. Seeya next week 👊

If I remember correctly Tyler is still without some guys from earlier in the season, should be a good game regardless though.
