Football Preview: Sterling Raiders vs. Brenham Cubs
The Sterling Raiders will head out on the road to face off against the Brenham Cubs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Sterling can't be to happy about their upcoming road matchup considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Friday. They had to suffer through a 47-6 loss at the hands of Texas City. While losing is never fun, the Raiders can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 801st, while the Stingarees are ranked 103rd).
Meanwhile, Brenham had to endure a three-game losing streak dating back to last season, but that streak is no more. They snuck past Huntsville with a 39-35 victory on Friday.
Brenham relied on the efforts of Xyran Upshaw, who gained 110 total yards and two touchdowns, and Cartelle Brown, who picked up 71 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Brenham'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 Jabreon Moore and Mason Seeber. Seeber also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making four total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception. Brenham got some further help from Kristian Prosper: he made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
