The Mavericks will get a slightly tougher challenge this week when they face a Wolfforth Frenship team that came close to defeating a good Byron Nelson team. … The Tigers had a great start against Byron Nelson last week but squandered a 21-point first quarter lead in a game that saw both teams go back and forth in the second half.

San Angelo Central at Amarillo High
>> Time, Date, Place: 7 p.m., Sept. 6 at Dick Bivins Stadium, Amarillo
>> Records: San Angelo Central 0-1; Amarillo High 0-0
>> Last Week: Abilene High 60, San Angelo Central 36; Amarillo High’s game was canceled due to weather.
>> Last Season: Did not play.
>> Notes: San Angelo Central’s offense showed it can still put points on the board last week. Unfortunately, the Bobcats’ defense is still struggling as San Angelo Central was dealt a 60-36 loss to Abilene High last Friday. The Bobcats will have a slightly easier task this week when they face an Amarillo High team that’s going to be playing its season opener a week later than expected. … The Sandies will be hoping Mother Nature cooperates this Friday after their game against Odessa High last Thursday was called off due to lightning. The game lasted a grand total of six plays as Amarillo High managed a 95-yard touchdown run by Bryson Brown on a kickoff return.
