The Whitesboro Bearcats will challenge the Palmer Bulldogs at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Each of these teams will be battling to keep a three-game winning streak alive.
Last Friday, Whitesboro didn't have too much trouble with Madison on the road as they won 35-20. Given the Bearcats' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 488th, while the Trojans are ranked 980th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
A big part of Whitesboro's win came down to the chemistry between Colt Fagan and his top target Brayden Bomar. Fagan punched in two rushing scores while Bomar picked up 105 receiving yards and a touchdown. Fagan has become a key player for Whitesboro: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Whitesboro wouldn't let Madison keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Whitesboro can thank Weston Meek and Lane Espinosa for forcing both of them.
Meanwhile, everything went Palmer's way against Pottsboro on Friday as Palmer made off with a 55-34 victory. The Bulldogs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four contests by 21 points or more this season.
The match pitted two dominant signal callers against one another in Eric Cisneros and Cayden Humphrey. Cisneros had a great game and gained 502 total yards and six touchdowns. Meanwhile, Humphrey was balling out in the loss, rushing for 128 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 208 yards and two touchdowns.
