The Brownfield Cubs are on their bye week, so we won’t see them on the field Friday night.
Meadow Broncos (0-1, 6-1) vs #7 Brorden Co. Coyotes (1-0, 5-1) at Meadow 7:30 pm kickoff
One thing is for sure: in six-man football, the injury of a single player can make a significant difference. However, when three of your starters are injured, it’s unlikely to be a good night or a successful rest of the season. The Broncos entered last week’s game against O’Donnell with a 6-0 record but were down three starting players. One of those injuries is season-ending, and the other two players will not be able to take the field in pads on Friday night.
Coach Jackson maintains a positive outlook. While Borden Co. holds the #7 ranking (and #6 on sixmanfootball.com), the excitement of the game lies in its unpredictability. Every match offers the potential for an unexpected upset, and that’s what makes it so thrilling.
Wellman-Union Wildcats (0-1, 1-6) vs #6 Whiteface Antelopes (0-0, 4-2) at Wellman, 7:30 pm kickoff
Despite the Wildcats facing another tough loss, this time against Borden County with a score of 46-0, it’s important to recognize the hard work Coach LaBadie and his team have put in this season. With a few strategic adjustments and some good fortune in past matches, the team could potentially have a much stronger record of 6-1. There’s a lot of promise in their efforts, and their commitment will undoubtedly lead to future success.
The upcoming matchup between the Wildcats and #6 Whiteface presents an interesting challenge for Wellman-Union. Having had a bye last week, the Antelopes come into this district opener well-rested and ready to compete. The Wildcats, known for their speed on both sides of the ball, have the potential to create a surprising outcome. It will be exciting to see how this game unfolds and whether Wellman-Union can capitalize on its strengths for an upset victory.
