Football Preview: New Braunfels Christian Academy Wildcats vs. Bishop Gorman Crusaders

Suggested Video

The New Braunfels Christian Academy Wildcats will take on the Bishop Gorman Crusaders at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

While Wildcats fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They claimed a resounding 63-0 victory over Austin Achieve on the road. The win was some much needed relief for the Wildcats as it spelled an end to their five-game losing streak dating back to last season.

Meanwhile, Bishop Gorman had to endure a three-game losing streak dating back to last season, but that streak is no more. They came out on top against Bay Area Christian by a score of 25-14 on Friday.

The critical scores for Bishop Gorman came from George Krog, Manuel Lozano, and Cody Carter.

Bishop Gorman's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Lozano and David Phillips. Lozano's also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making ten total tackles (4.0 for loss) and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown.

Everything went New Braunfels Christian Academy's way against Bishop Gorman in their previous meeting back in September of 2023 as New Braunfels Christian Academy made off with a 49-27 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for New Braunfels Christian Academy since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
