The Mansfield Tigers will venture away from home to face off against the Mansfield Summit Jaguars at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Mansfield Summit took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Mansfield, who comes in off a win.
While Tigers fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They took down Horn 38-20 on Friday.
Mansfield got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Braxton Van Cleave out in front who threw for 289 yards and a touchdown while completing 76.7% of his passes. A healthy portion of that aerial production (91 yards to be exact) went to Cole Williams.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Mansfield was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 407 total yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Horn only gained 278.
Meanwhile, Mansfield Summit was beaten by Lewisville 51-7 on Friday.
Mansfield skirted past Mansfield Summit 39-37 in their previous meeting back in September of 2023. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Mansfield Summit's Demarus Bird, who threw for 276 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 13.8 yards per attempt. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will Mansfield still be able to contain Bird? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
