The Pleasant Grove Hawks will venture away from home to challenge the Paris Wildcats at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
While Hawks fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They took their matchup on the road on Friday with ease, bagging a 33-3 win over Atlanta. Given the Hawks' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 47th, while the Rabbits are ranked 399th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Paris gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They blew past Sanger 31-7. The score was all tied up 7-7 at the break, but the Wildcats were the (much) better team in the second half.
Everything came up roses for Pleasant Grove against Paris when the teams last played back in September of 2023 as the team secured a 45-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Pleasant Grove since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
