The Refugio Bobcats will venture away from home to square off against the Edna Cowboys at 7:30 p.m. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Friday, Refugio humbled London with a 64-7 victory. Given the Bobcats' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 234th, while the Pirates are ranked 658th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Jordan King was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 248 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 15.5 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 81-yard run. The team also got some help courtesy of Ray Lewis, who rushed for 163 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries.
Refugio's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged three passes before it was all said and done. It was truly a group effort as Kolton Taylor, Fabian Garcia, and Laytyn Garza picked up one apiece. Taylor also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up two sacks and making four total tackles (2.0 for loss) in addition to snagging an interception. Another thorn in London's side was Javonte Lewis, who picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made seven total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, Edna was fully in charge on Friday, breezing past Bay City 35-7 on the road. The Cowboys pushed the score to 28-7 by the end of the third, a deficit the Blackcats had little chance of recovering from.

Refugio barely slipped by Edna when the teams last played back in September of 2023, winning 42-41. The rematch might be a little tougher for Refugio since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
