Whitharral will head into Friday's matchup hoping to keep the good times rolling: they only won by three when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 62-point they dealt Lazbuddie on Friday. Whitharral breezed by Lazbuddie at home to the tune of 62-0. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 25th, while the Longhorns are ranked 264th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Amherst). They blew past Boys Ranch 62-12 on the road last Friday. Winning may never get old, but the Bulldogs sure are getting used to it with their fourth in a row.
Whitharral's win bumped their record up to 5-2. As for Amherst, their victory bumped their record up to 4-1.
