The Landrum offense has gotten a lot of attention this season. The Cardinals are scoring a little over 30 points per game, but it isn’t just the offense that has this team off to a 5-1 start.

The defense has shined the season for the Cardinals.
The big boys on the defensive lined, led by Austin Howell and Nic Logan, have clogged up the middle of the field on runs. Linebacker Ryan Herbst has been a tackle machine. Brandon Cannon, T.J. Fincher and Aaron Bryant have been the ball hawks in the secondary.
While the offense is feasting, the defense is beasting, holding opponents to just shy of 16 points per game. The Cardinals have sacked opposing quarterbacks nine times. Joey Thomas is leading the way with 29 solo tackles and Herbst is right behind him with 28. Herbst leads the team with 57 total tackles, including a team-high eight tackles for a loss.
Howell, Herbst, Gavin Bishop and Chasten Thomas all have two sacks.
The Cardinal defense will be on the road again tonight against St. Joseph’s. The Cardinals beat Whitmire last week to open the region season 1-0. The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m.
