Crawford is preparing for their first district matchup of the season on Friday. After each having a week off, they and the Marlin Bulldogs will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 7:30 p.m. Marlin took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Crawford, who comes in off a win.
Crawford is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They walked away with a 21-13 victory over Holland last Friday.
A big part of Crawford's win came down to the chemistry between Cameron Parsons and his top target Jj Suarez. Parsons rushed for 114 yards and two TDs on only 11 carries while Suarez rushed for 62 yards and one score.
Meanwhile, Marlin was not able to break out of their rough patch last Friday as the team picked up their sixth straight defeat dating back to last season. They took a blow against West, falling 63-0.
Crawford pushed their record up to 4-1 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 4.3 points on average over those games. As for Marlin, their loss dropped their record down to 0-5.
Crawford might still be hurting after the 28-7 defeat they got from Marlin when the teams last played back in October of 2024. Thankfully for the Pirates, Roderick Suiters (who rushed for 89 yards and one touchdown on only ten carries, and also threw for 79 yards and one TD) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
