We should be in store for an exciting game as the two teams have no problem gaining yardage. Memorial has been on an offensive roll this season, having averaged 354.6 total yards per game. However, it's not like Plainview struggles in that department as they've been averaging 424.8 total yards. With a pair of commanding offenses duking it out, the defenses are going to have their work cut out for them.
Memorial strolled past Plainview in their previous matchup back in November of 2024 by a score of 54-35. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Mavericks since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
