After each having a week off, the Brazos Christian Eagles and the Sacred Heart Indians will shake off the cobwebs and challenge one another at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Sacred Heart is hoping to do what Riesel couldn't last Friday: put an end to Brazos Christian's winning streak, which now stands at five games. Brazos Christian took their match at home with ease, bagging a 37-0 victory over Riesel. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won four games by 23 points or more so far this season.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Brazos Christian to victory, but perhaps none more so than Cooper Murr, who threw for 225 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per attempt, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Truett Goodyk was Murr's top target, picking up 146 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 42 yards.
Brazos Christian's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB three times. In that department, Brody Garner was the leader with two sacks. Another thorn in Riesel's side was Ben Tillery, who forced a fumble and made eight total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sacred Heart).

Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
