El Dorado is  a perfect 6-0 against Bel Air since October of 2018 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. After each having a week off,  the two teams will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another  at 6:30  p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (El Dorado has three straight  victories, Bel Air has three straight  defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
El Dorado is headed in fresh off scoring the most  points they have   all season. They claimed a resounding  78-35 win over Parkland. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Aztecs' considerable advantage  in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 298th, while the Matadors are ranked 745th).

Speaking of playmakers, who could forget  Jadarius Sanders, who went all the way with a kickoff return for a touchdown.
