The Brenham Cubs will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the Sterling Raiders at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Brenham will be strutting in after a victory while Sterling will be coming in after a loss.
Brenham is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Huntsville. Brenham secured a 39-35 W over Huntsville on Friday. The win was some much needed relief for the Cubs as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Xyran Upshaw and Cartelle Brown were among the main playmakers for Brenham as the former gained 110 total yards and two touchdowns and the latter picked up 71 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Brenham's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Jabreon Moore and Mason Seeber. Moore's also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble, making six total tackles, and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception. Brenham got some further help from Kristian Prosper: he made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, Sterling was beaten by Texas City 47-6 on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Raiders can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 801st, while the Stingarees are ranked 103rd).
