The Denton Broncos will head out on the road to challenge the Hebron Hawks at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Hebron will be up against a hot Denton team: the squad just extended their winning streak to four. The Broncos' defense stepped up to hand Azle a 7-0 shutout on Tuesday. The final result isn't all that surprising considering Denton's considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 87th, while Azle are ranked 359th).
Denton's offense was hitting Azle from everywhere, as six different players booted in a goal. Stephen Hayibor led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for two goals all by himself.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hebron). They put the hurt on Creekview with a sharp 5-0 victory on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Hebron now has a winning record of 3-2-2. As for Denton, their victory bumped their record up to 6-2.
Denton couldn't quite get it done against Hebron in their previous matchup back in January of 2019 as they fell 2-0. Can the Broncos avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
