The Bell Blue Raiders will head out on the road to take on the Keller Indians at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Last Friday, Bell came up short against Timber Creek and fell 51-43. While losing is never fun, the Blue Raiders can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 303rd, while the Falcons are ranked 108th).
Kamron Scott put forth a good effort for the losing side as he rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown.
Bell wouldn't let Timber Creek keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Bell can thank George Getanda and Kole Martin for forcing both of them. Getanda is also crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least seven every time he's taken the field this season.
Meanwhile, after soaring to 34 points the game before, Keller was a bit more limited in their match on Friday. The matchup between them and Northwest wasn't particularly close, with Keller falling 23-7.
Even if they lost, Keller's defense still kept up the pressure with five sacks. Northwest's QB won't forget Andrew Jurasek anytime soon given he sacked him twice. Caleb Muse was another major factor on D, picking up a sack, making nine total tackles (4.0 for loss), and defending a pass.
This is the second loss in a row for Bell and nudges their season record down to 1-2. As for Keller, they dropped their record down to 1-2 with that loss, which was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season.
Bell was dealt a bruising 34-0 defeat at the hands of Keller when the teams last played back in September of 2021. Thankfully for Bell, Tre Guerra (who threw for 192 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 37 yards) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
