Houston Lamar Closes Regular Season With 24-7 Win Over Alief Taylor

Six wins in their last seven games heading into the finale, Houston Lamar had momentum on their side — and they made sure it carried through to the final whistle. The Texans handled Alief Taylor 24-7 to close out the regular season on a strong note.

Lamar struck first when quarterback Jayden Robins connected with Kaiden Hewitt, who slipped into the end zone to put the Texans up 7-0. Alief Taylor answered before halftime on a direct-snap keeper by Jerrimiah Frank-Robinson, who tucked the ball and punched it in from five yards out to even the score at 7.

The second half belonged to Kaze Bryant. He gave Lamar the lead back with a short touchdown run, then sealed the outcome in the fourth quarter with a cutback on a delay — his second score of the half and the play that put the game out of reach. The final: Lamar 24, Alief Taylor 7.
