The Georgetown Eagles are taking a road trip to challenge the Belton Tigers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Belton took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on Georgetown, who comes in off a win.
Georgetown is headed out to face Belton after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Georgetown took their game at home on Friday with ease, bagging a 54-14 win over Victoria East. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 183rd, while the Titans are ranked 454th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Georgetown relied on the efforts of Kaleb Mcdougle, who threw for 203 yards and five touchdowns on only 18 passes, and Jett Walker, who rushed for 192 yards on only 12 carries. Walker's longest rush was for an impressive 61 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Georgetown also got help from Xavier Warren, who showed off his sure hands for 87 receiving yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Georgetown was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 243 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
Meanwhile, Belton fell victim to Hendrickson and their airtight defense on Thursday. They received a blow as they fell 14-0 to the Hawks.
Georgetown came up short against Belton in their previous meeting back in August of 2021, falling 35-31. Can Georgetown avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
