Quarterback Chris Andritsos and The Woodlands face Round Rock in a Class 5A Division I area round playoff game on Saturday in Waco.

The Woodlands coach Mark Schmid and some of his staff members got a chance to scout Round Rock last week for its bi-district game against Austin Akins.

At times, the Dragons looked familiar. Maybe even too familiar.

“They look like us in a lot of ways,” Schmid said. “They have good size on both sides of the ball. They run the football. Their quarterback is a big part of their running game. They run out of a spread formation, and on defense they play a 3-4 base, just like us.”
