The Booker Kiowas will challenge the Follett Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams are strolling into their games after big wins in their previous games.
Follett is hoping to do what Silverton couldn't last Thursday: put an end to Booker's winning streak (dating back to last season), which now stands at six games. Booker took their match on the road with ease, bagging a 52-6 win over Silverton. That 46 point margin sets a new team best for the Kiowas this season.
Chase Nelson continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 31 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 169 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 passes. Another player making a difference was Julian Barton, who picked up 110 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Booker wouldn't let Silverton keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force three fumbles. It was truly a group effort as Marco Flores, Reydn Rosales, and Rosales picked up one apiece.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Follett). They blew past Panhandle Christian Home Educators, posting a 53-6 victory at home. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 31st, while the Warriors are ranked 228th), the result last Thursday wasn't entirely unexpected.
Booker's win bumped their record up to 4-0. As for Follett, the victory got them back to even at 2-2.
Booker was taken down by Follett 60-14 in their previous meeting back in September of 2023. Will Booker have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
