Pearland has been flying under the radar all year, which is pretty hard to do when you are 12-0 on the season. The Oilers never were ranked in the AP Top Ten Poll during the year, and only garnered five points in the final poll of the season.
Maybe voters were frightened off by several close call victories during the season, or the fact that their defense is prone to giving up yardage. It seems clear though, that they are worthy of their perfect record after they man handled Beaumont West Brook in the second round of the playoffs, 51-22, a game in which the beleaguered defense didn't allow a point until the fourth quarter.
Pearland boasts two of the top offensive players in the Houston area in running back Dustin Garrison, who has over 2,300 yards rushing on the season, and quarterback Trey Anderson, who took over the West Brook game when Garrison was held to a season low 57 yards. Anderson has 21 touchdowns against only three interceptions on the year.
From this point forward there will be no low flying however, as they now face Cypress Creek next week, who knocked off once beaten Katy Cinco Ranch 54-28, before a potential matchup with fellow unbeaten powerhouse Katy.
