The Muenster Hornets will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against the Albany Lions at 1:00 p.m. on November 24th. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Muenster walked away with it. They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Wildcats 42-14 on the road. Muenster's victory was all the more impressive since Wink was averaging only 17.25 points allowed on the season.
Meanwhile, Albany put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their perfect season alive. They didn't even let Celeste onto the board and left with a 56-0 win. Given Albany's advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 182nd, while Celeste is ranked 605th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Adam Hill continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 165 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 carries, while also catching a touchdown. Hill has been hot recently, having posted two or more rushing touchdowns the last seven times he's played. Albany also got a significant boost from Branson Beal, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 110 yards.
Their wins bumped Muenster to 8-4 and Wink to 10-2.
Muenster was dealt a bruising 56-10 defeat at the hands of Albany in their previous meeting back in November of 2022. Can Muenster avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
