The Pittsburg Pirates will face off against the De Kalb Bears at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Pittsburg is leaving town to face De Kalb after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Pittsburg was outmatched by Liberty-Eylau at home and fell 48-7. The Pirates' loss continues a trend for the team, making it six in a row dating back to last season.
Pittsburg's defeat came about despite a quality game from Jaylen Holloway, who rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, De Kalb had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They took their matchup on the road on Friday with ease, bagging a 48-20 win over Mineola. Given the Bears' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 429th, while the Yellowjackets are ranked 866th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
