Why this one matters

This nonleague showdown pits two Central Texas programs in a late-season test of depth and momentum. The teams most recently met on Sept. 22, 2023, when Prairie Lea rolled to a 66-6 victory, a result that gives the Indians a recent edge in the matchup. Expect both staffs to lean on fundamentals and the run game as they prepare for the final stretch of the season.
