The Panthers will head out on the road to take on the Jaguars at 7:00 p.m. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Weslaco comes in on five and Economedes on nine.
It was a proper cat-fight when Weslaco challenged Edinburg on Friday. The Panthers strolled past the Bobcats with points to spare, taking the game 23-5.
Chris Luna produced another solid effort rushing for 68 yards and a pair of scores.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Weslaco was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 202 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 154 rushing yards in four consecutive contests.
Meanwhile, Economedes sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 59-56 win over La Joya on Thursday.

Thursday's game might be decided on the ground. Weslaco has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 200.2 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Economedes struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 386.4 rushing yards. There's a good chance Thursday's matchup turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Weslaco strolled past Economedes in their previous meeting back in November of 2024 by a score of 36-19. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Panthers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
