Roscoe had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 21 points), and they went ahead and made it three on Friday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Texas Leadership Charter Academy - Abilene 57-0 at home. Roscoe's offense checked out after the first half but had enough points banked to take the game anyway.
Meanwhile, Albany put another one in the bag on Thursday to keep their undefeated season alive. They claimed a resounding 49-0 victory over Cross Plains on the road. Given Albany's advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 165th, while Cross Plains is ranked 970th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Adam Hill was his usual excellent self, rushing for 90 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries. Tyler Chapman also deserves a shout-out for his two touchdowns.
Their wins bumped Roscoe to 6-1 and Albany to 7-0.
