Just down the road from each other, Flower Mound and Lewisville have been rivals for a long time. Both teams prepare to open up district play against each other on Friday night. VYPE DFW takes a look at these teams so far and what fans can expect heading into this matchup!
Flower Mound Jaguars (2-1)
The Flower Mound Jaguars are riding a high this season despite having posted a loss. The team opened up their season with a 38-31 victory over Keller Fossil Ridge and followed it up with a week two victory over Lake Highlands (41-21). In week three, the team lost to a strong McKinney squad, but that doesn't mean this Jaguars' squad should be taken lightly. Their victories this season have spoken far louder than their loss against a tough team. In fact, their loss in week three followed by a BYE week just might be the fire and regrouping time necessary to pull ahead as Flower Mound enters district play.
Led by Nicolas Rosso, Marcus Simpson, Jason Welch, Carter Massey, Mason MacDonald, Jake Watson, Elliot Trawich, and more, this team knows how to battle back against adversity and show up to every single play like the game is on the line. Wanting to make a huge start to district play, Flower Mound will seek a victory on Friday night in Lewisville.
Lewisville Farmers (2-1)
Lewisville opened their season with a convincing 50-7 victory over Garland Naaman Forest. In week two, however, the team dropped a disappointing loss against Highland Park (21-18); the match was hard-fought with every moment worked for on the gridiron. Week three saw the Farmers pick back up and shut-out Mesquite (36-0). After a BYE week and time to focus on week five, the Famers are headed into what could be one of their most physical matchups in district play.
Led by top athletes like Julian Gonzales, Vance Walker, Viron Ellison, Jayden Hardy, Gabriel Lewis, Addison Wells, Sean Oliver, O'Marious Dimry-Lockhart, Rhyan Sewell, and more, this squad isn't to be looked over. Despite their loss against Highland Park, they have a lot of fight in them and will look to prove that on Friday night as they open district play.
What To Expect
Last season, in a battle, Flower Mound fell to Lewisville by a score of 28-21. With the drive and dedication this season, the Jaguars want revenge and can be expected to do whatever it takes to set the tone early on Friday night. Lewisville, however, wants to showcase its ability to be one of the strongest teams in its district and will look for a hot start to district play.
Kick-off is slated for 7 p.m. on Friday, September 22nd.
