Denison has gone a perfect 5-0 against Memorial recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. The Yellow Jackets are taking a road trip to take on the Warriors at 7:00 p.m. Denison has given up an average of 29.8 points per game this season, but Thursday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.

Denison is headed into the matchup out to prove that what happened against Walnut Grove last Friday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. The Yellow Jackets took a blow against the Wildcats, falling 56-7. The Yellow Jackets were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 42-0.

Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 70-10, which was the final score in Memorial's tilt against Walnut Grove on Thursday. While losing is never fun, the Warriors can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 476th, while the Wildcats are ranked 82nd).

Memorial has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-4 record this season. As for Denison, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-2.

Everything came up roses for Denison against Memorial in their previous matchup back in October of 2024, as the team secured a 48-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Yellow Jackets since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
