After each having a week off, the Randle Lions and the Texas City Stingarees will shake off the rust and duke it out at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in Randle's favor is that they have posted at least 31 points every time they've taken the field this season.
If Texas City heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when Randle took over last week. The Lions came out on top against Iowa Colony by a score of 49-42 two weeks ago. Things were looking grim for the Lions in the first quarter (they were down by 21) but they stormed back to get the contest.

One reason for the win was Randle's imposing defensive line, which managed to get into the backfield for six sacks. The heavy lifting was done by LJ Gonzales and Jalyn Burton, who racked up five sacks between them. Burton also set a new season-high mark in total tackles with eight. Julian Gerena was another major factor on D, making 13 total tackles and defending one pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Meanwhile, Texas City took their game last Friday with ease, bagging a 35-6 win over Lee. Considering the Stingarees have won three matchups by more than 24 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
The victory made it two in a row for Texas City and bumps their season record up to 3-1. The wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 9 points in those games. As for Randle, their victory bumped their record up to 5-0.
Randle beat Texas City 21-13 in their previous matchup back in October of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Lions since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
