The Hebbronville Longhorns will venture away from home to face off against the Odem Owls at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Hebbronville, yet to win a game, are hoping to taste some of the success that has characterized Odem's (thus far) undefeated season.
Last Friday, Hebbronville had to suffer through a 34-6 loss at the hands of Tuloso-Midway. While losing is never fun, the Longhorns can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 1163rd, while the Warriors & Cherokees are ranked 574th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Odem). They breezed by Skidmore-Tynan on the road to the tune of 51-16 on Friday. Fans of the Owls have seen this all before: every one of the games they've played this season has ended in a blowout of 20+ points.
It was another big night for Martin Castillo, who rushed for 222 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 63 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Kyle Wuenschel was another key player, picking up 129 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Hebbronville's loss dropped their record down to 0-4. As for Odem, they pushed their record up to 4-0 with the win, which was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season.
Hebbronville couldn't quite finish off Odem in their previous meeting back in October of 2023 and fell 29-27. Thankfully for Hebbronville, Josh Chavira (who rushed for 23 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 100 yards and a touchdown while completing 78.6% of his passes) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
