If the MaxPreps national rankings hold true, the near future looks bright for Lamar. San Angelo Central and Lamar go head to head on Friday at 7:00 PM in their first playoff match of the year. Each week has meant fewer and fewer points for Lamar in their past four games, so San Angelo Central might be catching them at a good time.
San Angelo Central have relied on a stalwart defense averaging points allowed per game, but that average took a hit last Friday. They lost to Haltom by a decisive 33-50 margin. Despite the loss, San Angelo Central saw an underclassman step up: Sophomore Malachi Brown picked up 152 yards on the ground on 22 carries and accumulated 283 passing yards.
Meanwhile, after a dominant victory in their game two weeks ago, Lamar were humbled. They took a 31-42 hit to the loss column at the hands of Arlington. Lamar's defeat signaled the end of their nine-game winning streak.
With the two teams each stumbling in off of a defeat, both will be hungry for the win. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
