They took their matchup on Friday with ease, bagging a 34-7 win over the Benjamin Davis Falcons. Given the Tigers' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 106th, while the Falcons are ranked 274th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Green's longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. 93 of Nunley's passing yards were hauled in by Jalen Mayon, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Conroe was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 230 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 172 rushing yards in four consecutive matches.
