Why this matters

These neighboring programs meet midseason in what should be a competitive league matchup. Van and Mabank both have upcoming showdowns with Lindale on their schedules — Van visits Lindale next Friday (Jan. 16) and Mabank hosts Lindale on Tuesday (Jan. 13) — so momentum from this game could matter for the stretch run.
