Canadian is 9-1 against Childress since October of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Friday. The Canadian Wildcats will head out on the road to take on the Childress Bobcats at 7:00 p.m. The two teams are strolling into their matchups after big wins in their previous games.
Childress is hoping to do what Dimmitt couldn't on Friday: put an end to Canadian's winning streak, which now stands at three games. Canadian simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Dimmitt 69-6. Given the Wildcats' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 445th, while the Bobcats are ranked 1117th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Clay Kendall was his usual excellent self, throwing for 176 yards and three touchdowns on only ten passes, while also punching in a rushing score. Riggs Pennington did his part for the team as well, scoring a TD off of 76 receiving yards.
Canadian didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Julian Dominguez and Edwin Pantoja. Dominguez also hauled in two receiving touchdowns, which is notable because Canadian is 5-1 when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Childress). Their defense stepped up to hand Dimmitt a 69-0 shutout two weeks ago. The contest was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Bobcats had established a 55 point advantage.
The win was the third in a row for Childress, bringing their record for this year to 5-4. Those good results were due in large part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 6.7 points per game. As for Canadian, their victory bumped their record up to 6-3.
Everything came up roses for Canadian against Childress in their previous matchup back in October of 2023, as the squad secured a 63-21 win. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Childress' Isaiah Jalomo, who picked up 128 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Canadian to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
