This Thursday at 7:00 p.m., the Holliday Eagles will travel to take on the Gunter Tigers in a critical matchup. Both teams are riding high on win streaks—Holliday with eight consecutive victories and Gunter with ten—setting the stage for an exciting clash.

Holliday enters the game with confidence after a dominant 46-20 win over Tolar in a playoff game on Friday. The Eagles were in control from the start, leading 36-0 at halftime, and never looked back. Quarterback Hunter Jones was stellar, throwing for 349 yards and four touchdowns, completing 73.3% of his passes. Wide receiver Steele Skinner was a key target, catching 102 yards of those passes.

Defensively, Holliday’s relentless pressure helped seal the win, with the Eagles recording six sacks. Vaughn Hamill led the charge, grabbing three sacks and disrupting Tolar’s passing game throughout.

Gunter, on the other hand, continued their dominant form, defeating Jacksboro 44-14. With a season marked by blowouts, including ten wins by over 29 points, the Tigers are a force to be reckoned with. Their high-scoring offense, averaging 54.6 points per game, has been a major factor in their 11-2 record and 16-game home win streak dating back to last season.

However, Holliday will be looking for redemption after a tough 31-7 loss to Gunter in their previous meeting in December 2022. Will they be able to turn the tide and break their 0-7 streak against the Tigers? Thursday night’s game promises to be a thrilling encounter as both teams look to extend their impressive runs.
