Football Preview: Lamar Vikings vs. Sachse Mustangs

Suggested Video

The Lamar Vikings will face off against the Sachse Mustangs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Sachse took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Lamar, who comes in off a win.

While Vikings fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They blew past Plano West, posting a 43-7 win on the road.

Lamar wouldn't let Plano West keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Lamar can thank Cristian Gonzalez and Daniel Villereal for forcing both of them. Gonzalez also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making three total tackles. Braylon Williams was another major factor on D, picking up a sack and making 12 total tackles (2.5 for loss).

Meanwhile, Sachse suffered their biggest loss since September 1, 2023 on Friday. They came up short against Coppell, falling 31-10. While losing is never fun, the Mustangs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 89th, while the Cowboys are ranked 16th).

The losing side was boosted by Kaliq Lockett, who picked up 146 receiving yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting with a big catch that went for 60 yards.
