Prosper is going up against a tough opponent. Rockwall ranks ahead of Prosper in Texas and National standings. This is because of Rockwall’s powerful offense. In their previous game, when they went against Allen, they outscored them 60-59.

It is obvious that Prosper needs to focus on the Jacket’s offense to stop Rockwall. Unfortunately, last year, Prosper was knocked out of the playoffs by Longview – in the same venue that they will be playing on Saturday.
