Bell hasn't had much luck against Trinity recently, but that could start to change on Thursday. The Bell Blue Raiders are taking a road trip to face off against the Trinity Trojans at 7:00 p.m.
Bell is headed into the contest out to prove that what happened against Byron Nelson on Friday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. Bell was beaten by Byron Nelson 31-3.

They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Texans 49-13. The Trojans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four games by 21 points or more this season.
Trinity's victory was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 8-1. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 48.6 points per game.

Bell came out on top in a nail-biter against Trinity in their previous meeting back in November of 2023, sneaking past 24-21. The rematch might be a little tougher for Bell since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
