Edgewood has won four straight games at home, while Woodville has won four straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Friday. The Bulldogs will host the Eagles at 7:00 p.m. Edgewood knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 points or more in their past 11 matchups -- so hopefully Woodville likes a good challenge.
Edgewood is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Thursday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 42-39 victory over New Boston. Given the Bulldogs' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 262nd, while the Lions are ranked 569th) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
