The Anna Coyotes will head out to challenge the Mansfield Timberview Wolves at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in Anna's favor is that they have posted at least 31 points in their last eight games.
Anna is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They took their contest on Thursday with ease, bagging a 79-14 win over Liberty. Given the Coyotes' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 52nd, while the Redhawks are ranked 891st) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
One reason for the win was Anna's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks. Liberty's QB won't forget Cash Williams anytime soon given he sacked him 2.5 times.
Meanwhile, you can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Mansfield Timberview's strategy against The Colony last Friday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that the Wolves blew the Cougars out of the water with a 55-6 final score. That looming 55-6 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Wolves yet this season.
Anna better keep an eye on Mylez Davis. He was instrumental in Mansfield Timberview's win, rushing for 56 yards and three scores. That's the most rushing yards Davis has posted since back in September. Davin Hill made the highlight reel by snagging an interception and taking it all the way to the house.
