Finishing off their non-district game portion of the season, the football team heads to Sherman to compete against the Bearcats tonight at 7p.m.

“Sherman is a really good ball club I think that they’re probably a lot like North Garland as far as talent wise,” head football coach Chris Burtch said. “They have a really good running back and they’re big, really big and physical. So I expect the same thing I expect every week from our kids. I expect us to go out there and play really hard, give great effort and hopefully the score board ends up on our side.”

With a 0-2 record the team hopes a win will launch them into their bye week on a good note.

“I think we are definitely prepared for what they will throw at us,” senior Ryan Coyne said. “I expect that we will play really well.”
