Mesquite Poteet vs. South Oak Cliff -- Friday, October 1 at 7:30 pm
Mesquite Poteet Pirates
Mesquite Poteet is off to a strong start this season. Despite losing two games, the Pirates have averaged around 41 points a game. Last week, Mesquite Poteet posted a great 35-28 win over Hillcrest. Led by quarterback Nicholas Aguilar, the Pirates look to extend their win streak to two on Friday night.
Aguilar has thrown for nearly 500 yards this season with three passing touchdowns, but a pivotal force for the Pirates this season has been Joey Shaw who has rushed for 629 yards and seven touchdowns on 81 carries. The Pirates are going to have to see cohesiveness from their offense in Friday night's game if they want to shut down South Oak Cliff.
South Oak Cliff Bears
South Oak Cliff's only loss this season has come in their opening game against Duncanville. With a strong offense and an even stronger defense, the Bears will look to continuing to take down opponents this Friday as they look towards Poteet.
Lead by Kevin Henry-Jennings, the Bears have a strong offense. Henry-Jennings has thrown 12 touchdowns on 723 passing yards completing 63% of his passes. The strength of the offense doesn't stop with the quarterback, though. KeAndra Hollywood has accumulated 233 rushing yards with one touchdown while Qualon Farrar has scored two rushing touchdowns on 182 yards. The true threat, however, is Randy Reece who has tallied six receiving touchdowns for 394 yards on 18 catches.
What To Expect:
South Oak Cliff hasn't lost a district game since 2014 and there's no doubt that Mesquite Poteet wants to change that for them. However, the Bears can be expected to pull ahead and continue their streak on Friday night.
