The Taft Raiders will challenge the Eagle Pass Eagles at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Taft is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Thursday. They snuck past Clemens with a 28-22 victory. The win was some much needed relief for the Raiders as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, while Eagle Pass put up plenty of points on Friday, the same can't be said for Winn. Eagle Pass simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Winn 48-0 at home. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 512th, while the Mavericks are ranked 1154th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Xavier Barrera was nothing short of spectacular: he threw for 218 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 66 yards on only six carries.
Taft strolled past Eagle Pass in their previous matchup back in December of 2020 by a score of 28-14. Does Taft have another victory up their sleeve, or will Eagle Pass turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
