Yoakum football: Bulldogs play Gonzales for Homecoming 2022

Yoakum hosts nearby Gonzales for 2022 Homecoming as the Bulldogs return home.,
Yoakum had a tough start to the season going 0-3 in the first three weeks before edging PL Calhoun 28-21 to start heading in a better direction.
The Apaches, with a 2-2 record, have already matched last year’s win total.
Gonzales beat Bastrop Cedar Creek and Marion while losing to La Vernia and Pleasanton. They are scoring 21.25 points a game and defense is ceding 26 points a game
“Gonzales has some good players, they have a new coach and are still  learning his system,” Yoakum head coach Bo Robinson said. “They are improving.”
Gonzales runs the spread and has lot of solid skilled positions to go along with a big offensive line.
“We will have to defend all of their skilled players well,” Robinson said.
Quarterback Jarren Johnson has completed 38-of-71 passes for 504 yards and four touchdowns to four interceptions.
Davante Smith is Johnson’s top target with 216 yards on 11 catches and two touchdowns.
Derrick Garza leads the ground game with 441 yards rushing and four touchdowns.
The Apaches come out in a four-man front on defense.
Jermaine Upshaw leads the defense with 11 tackles, 10 assists, three tackles for loss and one sack.
“Our offense just needs to improve at what we do. Our offensive line is improving. Quarterback Ty Gordon has been playing well. Kadarius Price had three touchdown receptions over the last two games and we need him to keep that up,” Robinson said.
Key players Jayden Jones and Qyion Williams returned from injury to take part in the defensive effort last week and could also contribute a lot on offense this week.
Notes — Robinson is one win away from his 200th win as head coach.
