The Kyle Lehman Lobos (0-4, 0-2 in district play) are set to face off against the College Station Cougars (3-1, 1-1 in district play) at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Lobos have struggled this season, suffering heavy losses that have demoralized the team. Their record shows scores of 6-12 against Chaparral and a staggering 0-79 against Pflugerville Weiss. Head coach Chris Castillo hopes his team can turn their fortunes around against a strong and motivated Cougars squad.
The Cougars, on the other hand, are coming off a convincing victory over Austin Anderson and are currently ranked seventh in the state in Class 5A Division I, presenting a formidable challenge for Lehman. Cade Corcoran, the Cougars’ quarterback, has been in fine form, boasting impressive stats with 979 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and just one interception. With standout receivers Zak Cosser and Jackson Verdugo making big plays, the Cougars are catching the attention of fans as they prepare for homecoming festivities.
In another thrilling matchup, the A&M Consolidated Tigers (4-0, 2-0) are headed to Nelson Field to face the Austin Anderson Trojans (2-1, 0-1) at 7:30 p.m. The Tigers are riding high after back-to-back wins, including a close battle against Lake Belton. Ranked fourth in the state in Class 5A Division I, the Tigers will look to maintain their undefeated streak.
Max Gerlich, the Trojans’ quarterback, has been lighting up the scoreboard with 13 touchdown passes this season. However, he will face a tough defensive line from the Tigers, eager to stop him in his tracks. With radio coverage from WTAW, audiences will surely tune in to catch this exhilarating game.
The Rudder Rangers have been a surprise team this season, starting with a perfect record of 4-0. Their next matchup against the Fort Bend Willowridge Eagles (2-2) promises to be another exciting event for local fans. The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and is highly anticipated, especially with the Rangers previously achieving a remarkable start last year as well.
Javyn Jessie has been instrumental for the Rangers, throwing for 1,062 yards and 13 touchdowns while maintaining a stellar completion rate of 81.3%. As they travel for this game, defenders of Willowridge will have their work cut out for them trying to contain this dynamic offense.
At the same time, Legacy School of Sport Sciences (2-3) will go against the Franklin Lions (2-1) in Waxahachie at 7:30 p.m. Legacy looks to bounce back after a close loss, but Franklin is currently ranked sixth in Class 3A-DI and will be a tough opponent.
