The Pearland Oilers are taking a road trip to take on the Dawson Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Pearland is looking to tack on another W to their five-game streak on the road dating back to last season.
Last Friday, everything went Pearland's way against Manvel as Pearland made off with a 42-18 win. Given the Oilers' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 137th, while the Mavericks are ranked 314th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Jake Westmoreland was a one-man wrecking crew for Pearland as he threw for 247 yards and three touchdowns on only 19 passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. A healthy portion of that aerial production (97 yards to be exact) went to Jordan Hernandez, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
Meanwhile, Dawson unfortunately witnessed the end of their three-game winning streak on Friday. They lost 42-21 to Shadow Creek. The Eagles were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 28-7.
Despite the defeat, Dawson saw an underclassman step up: Corey Brown picked up 83 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 50 yards.
Pearland's victory bumped their record up to 4-1. As for Dawson, their loss dropped their record down to 3-2.
Things could have been worse for Pearland, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 21-7 loss to Dawson in their previous matchup back in October of 2023. Thankfully for Pearland, Bryce Burgess (who rushed for 167 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 64 receiving yards and a touchdown) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
