The Friendswood Mustangs will square off against the Crosby Cougars at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Friendswood is headed into the matchup out to prove that what happened against La Porte on Friday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. The Mustangs were dealt a 57-21 defeat at the hands of the Bulldogs. While losing is never fun, the Mustangs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 328th, while the Bulldogs are ranked 107th).

Friendswood better keep an eye on Lott Robison. He was instrumental in Crosby's win, throwing for 215 yards and five TDs while completing 76.9% of his passes, and also punching in one score on the ground.

Crosby's defense made their presence known, laying out the QB three times. Cade Wainwright was especially locked on to Pasadena's QB and sacked him twice. Ashton Lemelle was another major factor on D, forcing one fumble and making eight total tackles (2.0 for loss).
