Heights is preparing for their first district matchup of the season on Saturday. They will venture away from home to face off against the Wisdom Generals at 6:00 p.m. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Last Friday, Heights and Alief Taylor were almost perfectly matched up, but Heights suffered a 21-20 defeat.
The losing side was boosted by Kobe Miles, who threw for 202 yards and three TDs.
While Heights came up short, they sure didn't make it easy for Alief Taylor: they limited their QB to completion percentage of just 50%. The team can thank Jack Whisenhunt for the heroic effort on defense: he. Heights hasn't an opponent to post a completion percentage of 0.5 or higher in three consecutive matchups.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 48-9, which was the final score in Wisdom's tilt against Strake Jesuit last Friday. That's two games in a row now that the Generals have lost by exactly 39 points.
Heights will have to contain Ajani Mayeux as he made an impact in Wisdom's last game. He rushed for 94 yards and one touchdown on only six carries.
Heights' loss dropped their record down to 1-3. As for Wisdom, their defeat was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 2-2.
Everything came up roses for Heights against Wisdom when the teams last played back in September of 2024, as the team secured a 47-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bulldogs since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
