Overview
- Westlake moved to 3-1 by defeating Steele at Chaparral Stadium in Austin, dropping the Knights to 3-1 after a 3-0 start.
- The Chaparrals scored on seven of 10 possessions, turning short fields into points after Steele miscues and leading 20-7 at halftime.
- Steele running back Jonathan Hatton sprinted 75 yards for a touchdown on the Knights’ first offensive snap, and a later 75-yard scoring run was erased by an unsportsmanlike penalty.
- Steele quarterback DJ Green was held to 5-of-12 passing for 45 yards as multiple promising drives ended with turnovers or penalties.
- Both teams close non-district play with this result and begin district schedules next week, Westlake in 26-6A and Steele in 29-6A.
