Spearman is preparing for their first district matchup of the season on Friday. After each having a week off, they and the Sunray Bobcats will shake off the rust and duke it out at 7:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Spearman has three straight victories, Sunray has six straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Spearman is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They blew past Shamrock 68-14 last Friday. The team's explosion on offense also rewarded the Lynx with their most commanding win of the season.
Spearman got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Gael Perez out in front who rushed for 80 yards and a pair of touchdowns on only seven carries. Jailen Vasquez also deserves a mention for his punt return touchdown.
Spearman's run defense was locked in: Shamrock could only muster 1.9 yards per carry. The team can thank Vlad Caro for the heroic effort on defense: he. Spearman didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 10.3.
Special teams also played a big role in the game for Spearman, adding 14 points to the final score. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Vasquez, who ran a punt back for a touchdown.
Meanwhile, Sunray played a tough game last Friday in which they were outscored in every quarter. They were dealt a 69-20 defeat at the hands of Canadian. While losing is never fun, the Bobcats can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 713th, while the Wildcats are ranked 231st).
Spearman now has a winning record of 3-2. As for Sunray, their loss dropped their record down to 0-5.
Spearman took a serious blow against Sunray in their previous matchup back in October of 2024, falling 47-6. Thankfully for the Lynx, Armando Lujan (who threw for 383 yards and six TDs while completing 76.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 71 yards and one score on only six carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
