Waxahachie had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They took their game on Friday with ease, bagging a 44-13 victory over the Ennis Lions. Given the Indians' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 26th, while the Lions are ranked 229th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
Waxahachie found their leader in sophomore Taylen Strange, who rushed for 114 yards and three scores on only eight carries. Jerry Meyer III was another key player, throwing for 237 yards and three touchdowns.
Waxahachie was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 249 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Ennis only rushed for 140 rushing yards.
One reason for the win was Waxahachie's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for 6.5 sacks. That dominant display was truly a team effort as six different players picked up one apiece. They got some further help from Jayquan Snell: he forced two fumbles and made ten total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Waxahachie will venture away from home to face off against Coppell at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams might be coming in a bit winded given these two teams combined for 899 yards in their previous games. As for Ennis, they are headed away from home for the first time to square off against Midlothian at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
