Hutto Looking Forward To Tough Game With Consolidated
Mexia looks to upset 40-1 West Orange Stark in UIL Playoffs.
MEXIA, Texas — The Mexia Blackcats have started to shock the community and surrounding area, and the rest of the state is up next.
After being picked to finish last in its district, Mexia finished second. Under first-year coach Frank Sandavol, it has won its last three games. In front of the Blackcats now, West Orange-Stark.
WOS is 40-1 in its last three seasons, both of the last two state championship years. This year, the Mustangs are 9-0 and will be looking to take care of business Friday night in Conroe.
The Blackcats, though, will be no pushover — as is the case with any team that reaches the second round.
Mustang head coach Cornell Thompson said the Blackcats are filled with athletes, maybe even more than his own team. He said stopping Travion Carter and Jaquay Martin will be one of the keys to keeping the streak alive. The athleticism, speed, and heart of the Mexia Blackcats are definitely something he’s fearing.
