Permian is 8-1 against Odessa since October of 2016 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. After each having a week off, the two teams will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 7:30 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Permian has four straight wins, Odessa has 11 straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
If Odessa heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when Permian took over last week. The Panthers walked away with a 36-25 victory over Cajon last Friday.
Meanwhile, Odessa scored the most points they've had this season last Saturday, but it wasn't enough. The game between the Bronchos and Ellison didn't end well, with the Bronchos falling 48-34. Despite 59 more yards than the Eagles, the Bronchos couldn't convert that extra yardage to scores.
Permian will need to focus on slowing down Andrew Rodriguez, one of several Odessa players who made an impact when they last played. He picked up 184 receiving yards and a pair of TDs. With that strong performance, Rodriguez is now averaging an impressive 104 receiving yards per game. Aramis 'Bo' Rodriguez was in the mix as well, providing Odessa with two touchdowns.
Even if they lost, Odessa's defensive line still kept up the pressure with six sacks. Ellison's QB won't forget Jason Sanchez anytime soon given he sacked him twice. Odessa got some further help from Andrew Rios: he picked up a sack, forced one fumble, and made 14 total tackles.
Odessa's loss dropped their record down to 0-5. As for Permian, their win bumped their record up to 4-1.
Permian took their victory against Odessa when the teams last played back in October of 2024 by a conclusive 50-26 score. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Bronchos' Mikey Cota, who threw for 243 yards and four TDs, and also rushed for 61 yards on only eight carries. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for the Panthers to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
