Football Preview: Leander Lions vs. Hendrickson Hawks
The Leander Lions are taking a road trip to face off against the Hendrickson Hawks at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Leander 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 came up short against Pflugerville, falling 54-28.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Zane Wooldridge, who picked up 214 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The team also got some help courtesy of Logan Mitchell, who threw for 224 yards and two touchdowns on only 16 passes.
Meanwhile, Hendrickson came into Thursday's game having lost six straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They strolled past Belton with points to spare on Thursday, taking the game 14-0.
Leander won a contest that couldn't have been any closer in their previous meeting back in October of 2023, slipping by Hendrickson 41-40. The rematch might be a little tougher for Leander since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
