Styles & coaching notes

Vidor’s Slot-T running game (REPORTED) against a Hargrave team that has held its last two opponents to 33 and 15.

T-Rohn says: Vidor fans are hosting, which means the tailgate starts at 3 and somebody’s smoker shows up before the team bus.

The pick

TAKE: Vidor 36, Huffman Hargrave 29 — Against common foes, Vidor beat Bridge City 27-3 and Lumberton 63-34 while Hargrave beat them 48-33 and 20-15 (MaxPreps); Vidor is at home off an open week.
