The Mart Panthers will face off against the Cumby Trojans at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Mart is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Goldthwaite just ended the team's eight-game winning streak on Friday. They took a blow against the Eagles, falling 46-0. Having soared to a lofty 72 points in the game before, the Panthers' shutout was a dramatic turnaround.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Cumby). They walked away with a 58-48 win over Celeste on Thursday. The Trojans pushed the score to 58-35 by the end of the third, a deficit the Blue Devils cut but never quite recovered from.
Mart's loss ended a ten-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 8-2. As for Cumby, the victory got them back to even at 5-5.
Everything came up roses for Mart against Cumby in their previous meeting back in November of 2023, as the squad secured a 58-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Mart since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
