If the MaxPreps state rankings hold true, the near future looks bright for Pittsburg. They will take on Rusk in each of the teams' second playoff game at 7:30 PM on Friday. The stakes are high as the teams both are all in, each fighting to extend its postseason success.
Four stomps in 11 total games is nothing to scoff at, and that's exactly where Pittsburg stand after their most recent matchup last Thursday. They steamrolled Community 42-7. That looming 35-point mark stands out as the most commanding margin for Pittsburg yet.
Meanwhile, Rusk brought a four-game winning streak into their match against Robinson last week; they left with a five-game streak. Rusk walked away with a 26-19 victory over Robinson. This was a playoff contest, so the win was all the more important for Rusk (and all the more bitter for Robinson).
Their wins bumped Pittsburg to 8-3 and Rusk to 5-6. The Pittsburg defense got after the quarterback against Community to the tune of eight sacks, so Rusk's offensive line better have put in some good practice this past week in preparation for the game.
