The Pflugerville Panthers will venture away from home to face off against the Hays Hawks at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Pflugerville is headed out to face Hays after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Pflugerville put the hurt on Leander with a sharp 54-28 win on Friday.
Pflugerville's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Cole Taylor, who threw for 297 yards and four touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also punched in a rushing score. Pflugerville also got a significant boost from Rhyder Miller, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 160 yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Pflugerville was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 527 total yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Leander only gained 357.
Meanwhile, Hays had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They walked away with a 31-21 victory over Elgin.
Anthony Hernandez went supernova for Hays, rushing for 134 yards and three touchdowns.
Hays wouldn't let Elgin keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Hays can thank Alex Silva and Robert Braitkrus for forcing both of them. Silva's also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making five total tackles in addition to snagging an interception. Lynford Noriega was another major factor on D, picking up two sacks, making eight total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defending two passes.
