Keller Central has enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will head out to challenge the Bell Blue Raiders at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that both suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
Last Thursday, Keller Central ended up a good deal behind Northwest and lost 28-14. While losing is never fun, the Chargers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 361st, while the Texans are ranked 52nd).
Meanwhile, Bell was not able to break out of their rough patch two weeks ago as the team picked up their fifth straight loss. They took a blow against Northwest, falling 42-7. The Blue Raiders were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 35-7.
Bell's defeat came about despite a quality game from Brendon Gleim, who rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown. Delvechio Ellis also helped out with an impressive 122 receiving yards.
Keller Central's loss was their fourth straight at home, which dropped their record down to 1-6. As for Bell, their record is now 1-5.
Keller Central came out on top in a nail-biter against Bell in their previous meeting back in August of 2015, sneaking past 34-31. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Bell's Dominique Lawson, who rushed for 150 yards on only 15 carries, and also threw for 68 yards and two touchdowns. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Keller Central to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
