The Newman Smith Trojans will be defending their home-field for the first timethey go up against the Fossil Ridge Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

Newman Smith is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They were dealt a 63-28 loss at the hands of Walnut Grove on Friday. The Trojans were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 42-14.

Meanwhile, Fossil Ridge couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They received a blow on Thursday as they fell 38-21 to The Colony. While losing is never fun, the Panthers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 302nd, while the Cougars are ranked 133rd).
