The Nocona High School football team will try to put last week’s loss behind them as the Indians hit the road to play Archer City.
Game time is set for 7 p.m.
“Archer City got beat by Millsap,” Nocona head coach Brad Keck said. “But, I think the biggest thing is we have to focus on what we need to do. We’re a good football team when we can do things right.”
Archer City will employ a Wing-T on offense and 3-4 defense. The Wildcats allowed 250 yards to Millsap while only generating one touchdown themselves.
Nocona will have to change blocking schemes this week going against an odd-man front.
Keck wasn’t happy with the amount of penalties Nocona incurred in its 19-14 loss to Alvord. The Indians were called for 13 penalties.

Forestburg vs. Strawn

Forestburg faces another tough opponent on the road this week, traveling to tradition-rich Strawn.
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

Saint Jo vs. McKinney Cornerstone

Saint Jo will have its home opener this Friday taking on McKinney Cornerstone, a Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools Division II member.
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at Harley Sewell Field.
Cornerstone will employ a spread offense and 4-2 alignment on defense. Players from Cornerstone will have the edge on experience with five seniors, and they have some good “team speed.”
