The Palmview Lobos will challenge the Nixon Mustangs at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Palmview is looking to tack another W on to their season record, something they couldn't quite do against Juarez-Lincoln on Friday. Neither Palmview nor Juarez-Lincoln could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw.
Meanwhile, Nixon put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their undefeated season alive. Their defense stepped up to hand Roma a 1-0 shutout. Given the Mustangs' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 103rd, while the Gladiators are ranked 304th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Nixon's one-goal win came courtesy of Alexis Serna, who's now up to five this season.
Nixon pushed their record up to 8-0-1 with the win, which was their fifth straight on the road. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 19 goals over those five games. Palmview's draw makes their record 1-4-1 this season.
Palmview beat Nixon by a goal in their previous meeting back in February of 2024, winning 2-1. Will Palmview repeat their success, or does Nixon have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
