Two dominant signal callers in Colt Fagan and Cayden Humphrey are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Whitesboro Bearcats will take on the Pottsboro Cardinals at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Whitesboro knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 points or more in their past five games -- so hopefully Pottsboro likes a good challenge.
Last Friday, Whitesboro strolled past Pilot Point with points to spare, taking the game 37-21.
Fagan was his usual excellent self, rushing for 119 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, while also throwing for 170 yards and a touchdown on only 14 passes. Those 119 rushing yards gave him a new career-high. A healthy portion of Fagan's aerial production (94 yards to be exact) went to Brayden Bomar, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
Meanwhile, Pottsboro beat Pilot Point 48-40 two weeks ago. Given the Cardinals' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 378th, while the Bearcats are ranked 991st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Pottsboro can attribute much of their success to Humphrey, who rushed for 128 yards and four touchdowns, and Carson Nix, who rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries.
Whitesboro has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 45.5 points per game. As for Pottsboro, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 9-1.
Things could have been worse for Whitesboro, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 49-30 loss to Pottsboro when the teams last played back in September of 2023. Thankfully for Whitesboro, Major Mcbride (who rushed for 231 yards and six touchdowns) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
