The Weatherford Kangaroos have been working hard to put themselves on the map in the Texas High School Football scene. The Crowley Eagles have been dominating on the season so far. In their first district matchup, Weatherford hosts Crowley for a game no fan is going to want to miss. VYPE DFW dives into the two teams and what fans can expect:
Crowley Eagles (3-0)
An absolute force to be reckoned with this season, Crowley is on a mission to take down everyone in their path. Allowing only 27 points against them, the Eagles defense has shown tremendous talent so far in the 2023 season. With a 3-0 record to enter district play, Crowley defeated North Richland Hills Birdville (38-10), Mansfield Legacy (29-3), and Mansfield Summit (43-14) in non-district play.
Featuring athletes like Donovan Blake, Caleb Pope, Kadric Evans, Christian Blake, Priest Ashe, Curtis Johnson, Ashton Tanksley, Carlson Sherman, Jonathan Bell, and more, Crowley is dominant on the field and typically fast-paced. They will look to set the tone in Weatherford on Friday night.
Weatherford Kangaroos (2-1)
The Kangaroos bounced back last week after a 55-37 loss against Richardson JJ Pearce. In their final non-district matchup of the 2023 season, Weatherford toppled Burleson in a 35-21 victory. Returning home, the Kangaroos are fired up and ready to enter district play with a statement victory.
Shane Myers, Kaiden Axell, Brandon Hutto, James Gray, Gage Aleff, Gaberiel Nuncio, and Braden McMillan are just some of the athletes that Kangaroo fans should keep their eyes on in Friday night's showdown.
What To Expect
Last season, Crowley posted a 31-17 victory over the Weatherford Kangaroos. This season, they look to continue an undefeated streak with one of the hottest defenses in the area. This season, Weatherford is on a mission to remove the chip from their shoulder and battle back. This team shouldn't be taken lightly as they'll look to pull off big plays against Crowley.
Kick-off is slated for 7:30 p.m. in Weatherford.
