Farwell has been on the road for three straight, but on Friday they'll finally head home. They will take on The Highland Park Hornets at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: both teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
A well-balanced attack led Farwell over Sanford-Fritch in every quarter on their way to victory on Friday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Farwell blew Sanford-Fritch out of the water with a 47-6 final score. The result was nothing new for Farwell, who have now won three games by 25 points or more so far this season.
Meanwhile, Highland Park was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Thursday as they fell 58-54 to West Texas. Despite running the score up even higher than they did two weeks ago (32), Highland Park still had to take the loss.
Highland Park's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Brady Thomspon, who threw for 529 yards and six touchdowns while completing 75.8% of his passes, and Elyes Torres who picked up 241 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Torres was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield for a catch that went for 69 yards. Tavian Vrede was another key contributor, gaining 124 total yards and a touchdown.
Farwell's win lifted them to 5-2 while Highland Park's loss dropped them down to 4-3.
Everything came up roses for Farwell against Highland Park in their previous matchup back in October of 2022 as the team secured a 54-12 win. Will Farwell repeat their success, or does Highland Park have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
