The Boswell Pioneers will head out to square off against the Crowley Eagles at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Boswell is looking for their season's first victory.
Last Friday, Boswell and Mansfield were almost perfectly matched up, but Boswell suffered a 41-40 defeat. While losing is never fun, the Pioneers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 482nd, while the Tigers are ranked 66th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Crowley). They breezed by Weatherford on the road to the tune of 63-28 on Friday. The matchup was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Eagles had established a 20 point advantage.
Caleb Williams was his usual excellent self, rushing for 155 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, while also throwing for 174 yards and two touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes. 144 of those passing yards were hauled in by Antayvious Ellis, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
Crowley wouldn't let Weatherford keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Crowley can thank Kameron Walker and Jaleal Allen for forcing both of them. Walker is also crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least nine every time he's taken the field this season. Crowley got some further help from Tyler Hooper: he made nine total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Crowley was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 270 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted was before the start of last season.
Boswell's loss dropped their record down to 0-5. As for Crowley, the win snapped their losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 2-3 record.
Boswell was able to grind out a solid victory over Crowley when the teams last played back in October of 2023, winning 36-28. The rematch might be a little tougher for Boswell since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
