The Grand Oaks Grizzlies are taking a road trip to take on the Willis Wildkats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Willis will be up against a hot Grand Oaks squad: the team just extended their winning streak to three. Everything went the Grizzlies' way against Oak Ridge two weeks ago as they made off with a 34-14 win. Given the Grizzlies' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 143rd, while the War Eagles are ranked 349th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.

Keilan Gause produced another solid effort rushing for 190 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.5 yards per carry, and also picking up 42 receiving yards. Those three rushing touchdowns gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Grant Smith, who threw for 110 yards and one TD on only eight passes.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Willis). They claimed a resounding 58-7 victory over Oak Ridge. The Wildkats haven't had any issues with the War Eagles recently, as the game was their third consecutive win against them.
Willis found their leader in freshman Lincoln Frazier, who threw for 309 yards and five touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also rushed for 58 yards. Frazier's passing game has become a key predictor of the Wildkats' success: the team is undefeated when his passer rating is 110 or higher, but only 1-2 otherwise. Jamarcus Williams helped out on the ground, rushing for 126 yards and a rushing touchdown.
Grand Oaks' record now sits at 6-2. As for Willis, their record is now 7-2.
Grand Oaks took a serious blow against Willis in their previous meeting back in October of 2024, falling 63-21. Thankfully for the Grizzlies, Jack Emerson (who threw for 375 yards and four TDs while completing 80% of his passes) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
