Starting off the game strong with a touchdown by quarterback Eric Schmid in the first quarter, the defense picked up the game and held the Tigers off for the rest of the night, and the Highlanders never seemed to lose their momentum.

“Defensively we continued to play well creating turnovers and making short periods for their offense,” Head Coach Mark Schmid said. “That’s what experience does for you out there.”

In the second quarter, Zak Yglecias intercepted the ball for a touchdown, taking the game to 17-0. Later in the second quarter, the Highlanders would intercept the ball again and offense would then take care of business and score with a minute until the half. Conroe responded with their own interception with two seconds left in the half.

The Conroe Tigers boasted a quick team, and to keep them from scoring after their first shutout against La Porte was a big deal for The Woodlands.

“It’s a tremendous confidence booster for us,” Schmid said. “Defensively we’ve played really well all season long. We got our second shutout. We shut out La Porte last week, and we had a shutout this week, so it says a lot about the way our defense is playing.”

The Highlanders would go on to score three more touchdowns in the third quarter and tack on a field goal to put away the win.

The Woodlands Highlanders will play their second district game of the season at Atascocita Saturday, October 3 at 6 p.m.
