The Odem Owls will square off against the Falfurrias Fightin' Jerseys at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
Odem is headed out to face Falfurrias after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Odem took their game at home on Friday with ease, bagging a 47-20 victory over Ben Bolt.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Odem to victory, but perhaps none more so than Martin Castillo, who rushed for 161 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries. Castillo's also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making two total tackles. John Hinojosa was another key rusher, rushing for 104 yards and two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Falfurrias had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They secured a 32-26 W over Hebbronville.
Everything came up roses for Odem against Falfurrias when the teams last played back in September of 2021 as the team secured a 49-6 win. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Falfurrias' Rene Martinez, who rushed for 190 yards while picking up 8.6 yards per carry. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Odem to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
