The Woodlands Highlanders (The Woodlands, TX) dominated College Park 42-10 for the Texas District 14-5A title [1][2]. Daniel Lasco, RB (Cal) carried 25 times for 195 yds and 2 TDs. Since coming back from his high ankle injury Lasco has amassed 629 yds and 8 TDs in four games. His comeback and on-field performance earned Lasco Montgomery County Courier Player of the Week [3].
"A lot of people forget that Daniel was out — I don’t — but this is really only like his fourth ball game back," The Woodlands coach Mark Schmid said. "With being in a boot and not being able to run around, it takes awhile to get back into that football shape, but he’s starting to hit his stride and that’s really promising to see [4]."
"During practice and stuff everybody takes a play or two off every now and then," he said. "After the injury it made me realize that you really don’t know when something terrible could happen. Now I just go through every single play like it could be my last."
When Lasco first turned his ankle in the Highlanders’ season-opener against Monterrey Tech, the first thing he thought about wasn’t the pain or the severity of his injury but when he would be back [5].
