Last meeting

The teams last met a year ago on Sept. 19, 2024, a game Henderson dominated, winning 62-6 (box score and recap: https://scorebooklive.com/texas/football/games/4593647-gainesville-vs-henderson). That lopsided result gives the Lions a psychological edge, but every season is its own story.
