The Wheatley Wildcats will challenge the Furr Brahmans at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Thursday, Wheatley strolled past Washington with points to spare, taking the game 32-13. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Wildcats.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Furr). They blew past Scarborough, posting a 63-0 win at home. Winning may never get old, but the Brahmans sure are getting used to it with their third in a row.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Furr to victory, but perhaps none more so than Nicholas Harris Jr, who rushed for 37 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 46 yards and two touchdowns. Another pass catcher making a difference was Avery Lazard, who picked up 79 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Furr didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Harris Jr and Ja'Deriyian Conway.
Wheatley has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. As for Furr, their victory bumped their record up to 4-1.
Wheatley took a serious blow against Furr in their previous matchup back in September of 2023, falling 39-7. Thankfully for Wheatley, Darrius Garland (who rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also threw for 145 yards and two touchdowns) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
