Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Mansfield Timberview should expect quite the challenge on Friday. They and The Colony go head to head at 7:00 PM in their first playoff game of the year. The Colony will be strutting in after a win while Mansfield Timberview will be stumbling in from a loss.
Mansfield Timberview were averaging 40 points per game entering their contest last week, but they just couldn't find their rhythm against Highland Park. It was a contest Mansfield Timberview are hoping to forget as they lost a 7-42 blowout to Highland Park. The lax defense was uncharacteristic for Mansfield Timberview, who until this matchup were averaging points allowed.
Meanwhile, five stomps in ten total games is nothing to scoff at, and that's exactly where The Colony stand after their most recent match. They were the clear victor by a 31-7 margin over Little Elm. The victory was familiar territory for The Colony, who now have eight in a row.
The Colony's win lifted them to 9-1 while Mansfield Timberview's defeat dropped them down to 5-5. Mansfield Timberview's offensive line will need to gear up for a tough test against a The Colony defensive front that amassed ten sacks against Little Elm, so we'll see if they are up to the task.
