The team also got some help courtesy of Preston Slaton, who rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.
Meanwhile, it was a hard-fought matchup, but Creekview had to settle for a 24-21 loss against Memorial last Thursday. That's two games in a row now that Creekview has lost by exactly three points.

Everything went Argyle's way against Creekview in their previous matchup back in November of 2022 as Argyle made off with a 50-24 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Argyle since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
