The Killeen Kangaroos are headed away from home for the first time to challenge the Ellison Eagles 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.
Killeen is leaving town to face Ellison after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Killeen took a 31-21 hit to the loss column at the hands of Vista Ridge on Friday.
Ellison kicked off their season on the road on Friday and hit a couple of potholes. They lost to Copperas Cove on the road by a 49-34 margin.
Ellison's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Sidney Holland, who threw for 356 yards and three touchdowns, and Trevarus Turner-Smith, who gained 108 total yards and three touchdowns. Turner-Smith was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 52 yards. A healthy portion of that aerial production (97 yards to be exact) went to Prince Hall.
Killeen didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Ellison in their previous matchup back in October of 2023, but they still walked away with a 34-28 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Killeen since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
