The Aledo Bearcats will take on the Richland Royals at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. The timing is sure in Aledo's favor as the team sits on five straight wins at home while Richland has been banged up by four consecutive losses on the road.
Aledo's defense heads into the match hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed last Friday. They were the clear victor by an 8-0 margin over Azle. Considering the Bearcats have won nine games by more than three goals this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Meanwhile, Richland hadn't done well against Colleyville Heritage recently (they were 1-8 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Monday. Richland had just enough and edged out Colleyville Heritage 2-1. The Royals' winning goal came courtesy of Noble Bradley.
Aledo is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-3-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 48 goals over those 11 matches. Richland's win bumped their record up to 7-8-1.
