Football Preview: Wall Hawks vs. Canadian Wildcats
Wall has won seven straight games at home, while Canadian has won seven straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Friday. The Wall Hawks will host the Canadian Wildcats at 6:00 p.m. Wall knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 31 points or more in their past nine matchups -- so hopefully Canadian likes a good challenge.
Wall is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Littlefield 56-21. The Hawks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten matches by 21 points or more this season.
A big part of Wall's win came down to the chemistry between Landon H York and his top target Thomas Leanos. York threw for 300 yards and five touchdowns while Leanos rushed for 230 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 13.5 yards per carry. The dominant performance gave Leanos a new career-high in rushing yards.
Wall wouldn't let Littlefield keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Wall can thank Garren Wiggins and Brylan White for forcing both of them. Wiggins has been hot recently, having also posted five or more total tackles the last four times he's played.
Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Canadian beat Idalou 27-21 on Friday.
Slayden Dickinson continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 170 yards and a touchdown.
Wall's record is now 12-1. As for Canadian, their record is now 10-3.
Things could have been worse for Wall, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 31-12 loss to Canadian in their previous meeting back in December of 2023. Thankfully for Wall, Camren Cavalier (who rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also threw for 141 yards and a touchdown while completing 88.9% of his passes) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
