Crockett has won three straight games at home, while Fairfield has won three straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Friday. The Crockett Bulldogs will take on the Fairfield Eagles at 7:30 p.m. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
Crockett's offense might be in the hot seat on Friday considering what happened against Diboll last Friday. They were dealt a 28-0 loss at the hands of the Lumberjacks. The Bulldogs haven't had much luck with the Lumberjacks recently, as the team's come up short the last seven times they've met.
Meanwhile, Fairfield managed to keep up with Westwood until halftime on Friday, but things quickly went downhill from there. Fairfield lost 62-39 to Westwood. While losing is never fun, the Eagles can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 568th, while the Panthers are ranked 168th).
Fairfield's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Kohl Collins, who threw for 315 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per attempt, and Finn Smith, who picked up 217 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Smith is becoming a predictor of Fairfield's success: when he posts at least 80 receiving yards the team is 3-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't). Jaylon Shed helped Collins out on the ground, rushing for 130 yards on only 14 carries.
Fairfield's loss dropped their record down to 5-4. As for Crockett, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-6.
