Hillcrest has had a week off and is no doubt ready to get back on the field. They will face off against Wilmer-Hutchins on the road at 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday. Both of these teams will be looking for a pick-me-up after considerable defeats in their previous games.
Hillcrest played a contest they are hoping to forget as they lost a 55-7 blowout to Alvarado two weeks ago. The result was totally at odds with the teams' rankings as the Panthers enjoy a hefty spot advantage.
Meanwhile, we expected Wilmer-Hutchins to have trouble with the significantly higher-ranked Alvarado last Friday, and they did. Wilmer-Hutchins found themselves the reluctant recipients of a vexing 35-14 punch to the gut against Alvarado. A silver lining for the Eagles was the play of Kyle Douglas, jr, who passed for 257 yards and two TDs. That makes it four straight good games from Douglas, jr.
The Panthers took a serious blow against the Eagles when the two teams last met in November of last year, falling 49-0. Can the Panthers avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
