Football Preview: MacArthur Generals vs. Channelview Falcons

Suggested Video

The MacArthur Generals will square off against the Channelview Falcons at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. Given that both suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

After dropping their season opener at home, Channelview is headed out to face a Generals team ready to give their home crowd a win. MacArthur was just a hair shy of victory on Saturday and fell 17-16 to Cypress Ridge. The Generals just can't catch a break and have now endured six losses in a row dating back to last season.

Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Nicholas Macias, who rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. MacArthur also got a significant boost from Lance Nero, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 86 yards.

Channelview kicked off their season on the road on Friday and hit a couple of potholes. They and Pasadena Memorial were almost perfectly matched up, but Channelview suffered a 43-42 defeat.

MacArthur suffered a grim 33-13 defeat to Channelview in their previous meeting back in September of 2023. Will MacArthur have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
