Guyer’s offense was hurt when junior quarterback Eli Stowers went down with a knee injury early in the game. Stowers, who entered the game with over 4,000 yards in total offense, has given his verbal to Texas A&M.
The state championship is the fifth overall for Westlake head coach Todd Dodge, who won four with Southlake Carroll.
