Navarro has been on the road for two straight, but on Friday they'll finally head home. They will welcome the Elgin Wildcats at 7:30 p.m. Navarro's offense hasn't had much luck over their past three matches, but Friday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.
Navarro is headed into the contest out to prove that what happened against McCallum last Thursday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. Navarro had to suffer through a 65-0 loss at the hands of McCallum.
Meanwhile, Elgin got the win against Pflugerville Connally on Friday by a conclusive 45-23. The result was nothing new for the Wildcats, who have now won three matchups by 22 points or more so far this season.
Jalen Owens continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 76 yards and three touchdowns, while also throwing for 102 yards and a touchdown on only six passes. Another player making a difference was Dylan Owens, who gained 156 total yards.
Another reason for the win was Elgin's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for five sacks. Lewis Reese was especially locked on to Pflugerville Connally's QB and sacked him twice. Reese is becoming a predictor of Elgin's success: when he posts at least two sacks the team is 2-1 (and 2-4 when he doesn't). Noddyn Bailey was another major factor on D, making ten total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Elgin pushed their record up to 4-5 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 55.7 points per game. As for Navarro, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-6.
