On Friday night we saw the battle of the big cats as the Frenship Tigers traveled to take on the Permian Panthers in a district match up.
Frenship Tigers
Quarterback Hudson Hutcheson came into the game continuing his dominance through the air as he completed 24 of 30 passes for 425 yards and 6 touchdowns. Hutcheson spread the ball around as he connected with Leyton Stone 5 times for 205 yards and Landon Hutcheson 6 times for 70 yards. Stone reached the endzone twice and Landon Hutcheson reached the endzone once. Chase Campbell had a breakout game hauling in 10 receptions for 150 yards, scoring 3 touchdowns in the process. As dominant as the Tigers were in the air, the ground game struggled as Jaden Tackett and Luke Cortez each carried the ball only twice. Tackett finished with 11 yards and Cortez ended with 17 yards.
Permian Panthers
The Panthers had trouble getting things going in the air as Jakob Garcia completed 7 of 11 passes for 59 yards, while rushing for 10 yards. Garcia Connected with Gavin Black for a 20-yard receiving touchdown which was Black’s only catch of the night, and Isaiah Welton, whose 3-yard touchdown catch was his only reception of the night. As unsuccessful as the Panthers were in the air, they dominated in the ground game as Juzstyce Lara rushed for 218 yards on 35 carries scoring 3 touchdowns. Issa Herrera, who carried the rock 3 times for 83 yards, was able to score himself a touchdown as well.
As both defenses were only able to create a few turnovers, the Frenship Tigers emerged victorious as they won their first district game on the year beating Permian 46-44.
Next week Frenship returns home to continue district play against Odessa, while Permian will have another home game as they take on San Angelo Central.
