PREVIEW: Trimble Tech opens district play on the road against Colleyville Heritage

The Trimble Tech Bulldogs and the Colleyville Heritage Panthers are set to face-off in their first district match of the season. The Bulldogs travel to Colleyville on Friday night to take on the Panthers in an intense matchup. VYPE DFW takes a look at these two teams so far this season:

Trimble Tech Bulldogs (1-2)

Trimble Tech has had a little bit of a rough start to their 2023-24 campaign. Losing their first game in a forfeit against Seagoville, the team went on to drop week two's matchup against Wichita Falls City View (45-0). Last week, the team faced Dallas Shelton and posted a 21-0 shut-out victory. Looking to add more victories to their record as they enter district play this week, Trimble Tech will do whatever it takes for a strong district-opening outing.

Led by the likes of McKylon Davis, Decoryne Miles, Jesse Hill, Nick Martinez, Adam Nunez, Trenton Honeycutt, Jadarrius Strhan, and more, this squad is ready to put the pedal to the metal and kick it into high gear through district play.

Colleyville Heritage Panthers (2-1)

The Panthers are working hard this season. A season-opening victory over Irving Nimitz (47-13) followed by a hard-fought week two loss against Texas High (41-38) gave the Panthers the fire they needed to enter week three ready to take on Ennis. Week three saw bad weather canceling games across the metroplex. With a score of 10-7 in Colleyville Heritage's favor, the game ended up being called. Heading into a BYE week, the Panthers were able to focus on their preparations for district.

Led by Luke Ullrich who has averaged over 107 rushing yards per game, Ryan Keleher, Colin Bennett, Kai Pruitt, Hayden Golden, Bodey Weaver, and others, this team has been determined all season. Fans can expect their full force effort on Friday night.

What To Expect

Last season, Colleyville Heritage defeated Trimble Tech in a 57-0 trouncing. The Panthers will look to put up the same kind of fight as they enter Friday's matchup. The team can be expected to come out swinging looking to set the tone early. Trimble Tech has been working hard to gain momentum over the past few seasons. This team can be expected to come out ready to go against Colleyville Heritage.

Kick-off is slated for 7 p.m. at Colleyville Heritage.
