The struggle was real when Anna and Benbrook clashed on Thursday, but Anna ultimately edged out the opposition 24-21. Having pegged this as anyone's game, the MaxPreps state rankings were right on the nose.
Anna's offense came in ready to rumble, picking up 17 points in the first half. Benbrook put up 7, so the score was 17-7 at the half. Anna almost let the game get away from them in the second half, but they had just enough oomph to take it. The win bumped their record up to 3-1. The loss dropped Benbrook's record to 3-1.
Anna will be staying on the road next week, facing off against North Lamar. Anna are cruising in on a three-game winning streak while North Lamar are stumbling in off of four consecutive losses. Benbrook will look to defend their home turf against Western Hills at 7:00 PM. Both of those teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
