Alex has gone 7-2 against Cyril recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Longhorns will square off against the Pirates at 7:00 p.m. Alex has given up an average of 37.7 points per game this season, but Friday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.

Alex is headed into Friday's contest looking for a big change in momentum after dropping their third straight games on Thursday. They were dealt a 46-14 loss at the hands of Strother.

Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Cyril, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. Everything went their way against Wetumka on Thursday as they made off with a 54-28 victory. The result was nothing new for the Pirates, who have now won six matchups by 26 points or more so far this season.

Cyril's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Those home victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 11.5 points on average over those games. As for Alex, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-5.

Everything went Alex's way against Cyril in their previous matchup back in October of 2024, as Alex made off with a 60-36 win. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Pirates' Jonathan Jones, who picked up 113 receiving yards and two scores, and also punched in one touchdown on the ground. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for the Longhorns to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
