The Mexia Black Cats will face off against the Athens Hornets at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
While Black Cats fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Centerville 6-5.
Meanwhile, Athens gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. They walked away with a 9-6 victory over Eustace. The Hornets haven't had any issues with the Bulldogs recently, as the game was their third consecutive win against them.
Mexia might still be hurting after the 12-4 defeat they got from Athens when the teams last played back in March of 2019. Can Mexia avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
