Two dominant backs in Keaton Gordon and Jett Walker are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Glenn Grizzlies will stay at home for another week and welcome the Georgetown Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Last Friday, Glenn was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 34-28 to Cedar Park. While losing is never fun, the Grizzlies can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 384th, while the Timberwolves are ranked 148th).
Meanwhile, Georgetown entered their tilt with East View on Friday with two consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with three. They blew past the Patriots 58-14 at home. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by 28 points or more this season.
Georgetown can attribute much of their success to Kaleb Mcdougle, who threw for 215 yards and two touchdowns, and Walker, who rushed for 127 yards on only 14 carries. Walker's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 108 rushing yards. Xavier Warren did his part to keep the secondary busy, picking up 84 receiving yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Georgetown was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 293 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 224 rushing yards in five consecutive matches.
Glenn dropped their record down to 2-5 with the defeat, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. As for Georgetown, their victory bumped their record up to 6-1.
Glenn couldn't quite finish off Georgetown in their previous matchup back in October of 2023 and fell 44-41. Thankfully for Glenn, Andrew Petter (who rushed for 241 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry, and also picked up 36 receiving 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.
