GAME PREVIEW: Wichita Falls Hirschi vs. Decatur Football
Closing out non-district play for these two, the Wichita Falls Hirschi Huskies are traveling to Decatur on Friday night for a battle against the Eagles. Both teams looking to exit non-district play on a high note, VYPE DFW takes a dive into these programs so far this season:
Wichita Falls Hirschi Huskies (2-2)
With dedication and resiliency, Hirschi has battled through their non-district schedule this season. The team posted a 34-0 shut-out victory at home for a season-opening match against Clint before traveling to Brock and falling 28-14. Week three saw a tough 42-12 loss against Springtown before the Huskies traveled to Irving and recorded a 63-18 victory over Ranchview.
Led by Jimmell McFalls, KD Worthy, Adrian Lanier, Juaquin Sanchez, Javian Frazier, Annetrell Mims, Devin Mims, Tian Harrell, Jeffrey McConnell, Amari'a Wiley, and others, the Huskies look to secure one more victory before entering district play.
Decatur Eagles (1-4)
Decatur hasn't had the start to the season that they were opening for. With three consecutive losses in non-district play, the Eagles fell to Anna (37-30), Wichita Falls Rider (38-14), and Stephenville (56-55). Week four saw the Decatur Eagles regroup and battle for a 56-0 victory over Pampa. Last week, the team dropped a 36-35 battle against Alvarado in which Jed Ross completed 82% of his passes for 154 yards and one touchdown to Abram Graham; Ross also recorded two rushing touchdowns. Graham and Nate Palmer combined for a total of 229 rushing yards in the victory.
Led by Graham, Ross, Palmer, Jamari Fletcher, Landon Felts, Luke White, and more, Decatur will do whatever it takes to improve on its record before entering district play.
What To Expect
Despite their losses this season, Decatur has shown that they have dedication and fight on the field. Each loss was a hard-fought battle in which the Eagles showed no signs of giving up. Learning from difficult moments on the field, fans can expect Decatur to put up a fight on home turf on Friday night. Last season, Hirschi fell 35-19 to Decatur in front of a home crowd. The Huskies will look to deliver the same heartbreak to Decatur this season as they travel with a focus and desire this season. Fans can expect a battle between these two teams.
Kick-off is slated for 7 p.m. on Friday, September 29th at Decatur Eagles Stadium.
