After six games on the road, Tyler HEAT is heading back home. They will take on The King's Academy Knights at noon on Saturday. Neither Tyler HEAT nor King's Academy posted many points in their last games could muster much offensive firepower in their last games.
Tyler HEAT's 8-4 record from last season is now well into the rear view mirror after another tough outing. They were beaten by Chester 48-12 on Thursday.
Meanwhile, King's Academy's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Friday after their fourth straight loss. They had to suffer through a rough 60-12 loss at the hands of Leverett's Chapel. While losing is never fun, King's Academy can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 236th, while Leverett's Chapel is ranked 87th).
Despite the loss, King's Academy got a solid performance out of Caiden Stafford, who picked up 109 receiving yards and a touchdown.
The losses dropped Tyler HEAT to 1-5 and King's Academy to 2-5.
Everything came up roses for Tyler HEAT against King's Academy in their previous meeting back in October of 2022 as the squad secured a 50-0 win. Will Tyler HEAT repeat their success, or does King's Academy have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
