NATIONAL RADAR GAME RECAP

Under the bright lights of the Alamodome, Vandegrift and San Marcos delivered a playoff battle loaded with intensity, physicality, and standout performances that caught the attention of National Radar scouts throughout the night. With both teams fighting to extend their postseason run, this matchup turned into one of the most compelling games of the week.

Vandegrift showcased why they remain one of the most complete programs in Texas. Their defense set the tone early—flying to the football, winning at the line of scrimmage, and eliminating San Marcos’ explosive play opportunities. The Vipers’ defensive front was dominant, consistently generating pressure and forcing hurried throws, while the secondary played disciplined, assignment-sound football in coverage. Offensively, Vandegrift controlled the pace with a balanced attack, mixing power runs with timely passing to sustain drives and keep momentum firmly on their side. Their efficiency on third down and execution in the red zone separated them as the night progressed.

San Marcos, despite the loss, showed the heart and competitiveness that earned them a place in the postseason. Their playmakers battled from start to finish, with key flashes of speed and athleticism that challenged Vandegrift’s defense. The Rattlers fought for every yard, leaned on their quarterback’s resilience, and continued to rally behind a tough defensive front that produced multiple key stops to keep the game within reach in the first half. Their effort, grit, and ability to capitalize on broken plays were bright spots recognized by evaluators.

In the end, Vandegrift’s discipline, defensive dominance, and ability to control the game's tempo proved to be the difference in a hard-fought playoff victory inside one of Texas’ most iconic venues. National Radar identified several standout performers from both sides, with prospects elevating their stock in a high-profile setting watched closely by college coaches.
