Yoakum Hoping to Slow Soaring Columbus

The Columbus Cardinals have not reached such heights in a while, for through week 7 of 2024, they are undefeated (6-0).

But this week, the Yoakum Bulldogs (5-2) stand in the Cardinal way with but two losses: to Cuero, 49-61. and West Columbia, 21-46.     

   

The Bulldog-Cardinal clash will take place in Columbus on Friday evening, October 18th. Its outcome will determine which leads District 12 of 3AD1, a position held for this one week by Yoakum and Hitchcock, both having already won a district game.  District 12 of 3AD1 is certainly one of the most competitive in the state, all-classes, all divisions.

The Cardinals have been relatively untested in their six wins, with their closest victory being over Bellville, 49-35, on Sept. 27th.

Columbus Head Coach Matt Schobel has recently added Jose Rangel to his staff, to assist in the stretch run through the playoffs.
