After each having a week off, the Crosby Cougars and the Pasadena Eagles will shake off the cobwebs and challenge one another at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Crosby is no doubt hoping to put an end to a seven-game streak of away losses dating back to last season.

Despite the defeat, Crosby got top-tier performance from Wesley Yarbrough, who rushed for 173 yards and two touchdowns. Yarbrough was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 54 yards. Joshua Jackson also helped out with an impressive 80 receiving yards.
Crosby's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Josiah Jones and Cameron Grandmaiter.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 35-7, which was the final score in Pasadena's tilt against Bellaire last Thursday. The Eagles haven't had much luck with the Cardinals recently, as the team's come up short the last two times they've met.
Crosby's loss dropped their record down to 0-3. As for Pasadena, they now have a losing record at 1-2.
