Five-star Clemson QB commit Cade Klubnik will play for a state title next week after another big effort for Westlake (Tx.) on Saturday at Baylor's McLane Stadium.

Klubnik passed for over 300 yards with five touchdowns in a No. 2 Westlake 45-14 win over No. 7 Katy.

In a 15-0 campaign, Klubnik's Chaps haven't had a victory margin under 20 points.

Klubnik, who missed multiple games in October due to a separated non-throwing shoulder, is approaching 40 touchdown passes (39) in just 12 games, where in several contests he sat most of the second half.

With a win next week, he can lead Westlake to two state championships within a calendar year (the 2020 season's playoffs finished in January).
