| Brayden Beal runs for yardage in game at Plowboy Field last year. |
The non-district match was originally scheduled to be in the Sammy Baugh Classic tomorrow night at Mustang Bowl in Sweetwater, but a scheduling mix-up occurred, and the game time and location have been changed to Friday here in Roscoe.
Haskell will be a tough opponent. With a senior-heavy squad, the Indians return nine defensive and seven offensive starters from last year’s 7-4 playoff team that fell in bi-district to state finalist Albany. As with Roscoe, Dave Campbell’s Texas Football magazine picks them to finish second in their 2A-II district.
However, they will be breaking in a new quarterback, so if the Roscoe defense can pressure him from the start, that will definitely increase the Plowboys’ chances of winning. It won’t be easy though, as Haskell has a big, experienced offensive line.
The Plowboys will counter on offense with returning quarterback Brayden Beal, who’s coming off a breakout year in which he threw for 40 TDs and over 3000 yards. He’ll be looking for returning receiver sophomore Jose Ortega, as well as wideouts Diego Garza and freshman Junior Martinez, while running back Francisco Garcia plans to keep defenses honest with a strong running game. The Plowboy line with Roady Mann, Matt Buckley, Isaias Aguilar, and others will open the holes and provide the blocking. On defense, the Plowboys are led by end Paul Pantoja, linebacker Austin Willman, and several other defensive standouts.
This should be a close, hard-fought game between two teams that appear to be evenly matched, at least on paper. Kickoff is at 7:30pm.

WEATHER REPORT: COOL FOR AUGUST, A LITTLE RAIN
 |
| This morning's sunrise. |
It’s been another week of delightfully cool weather for August with more promise of rain than actual results. Afternoon highs were generally in the eighties with lows in the low seventies or upper sixties, and on Saturday the high was only 77°F. The high since last Wednesday came yesterday, which topped out at 90°, and the low came on Sunday morning when the temperature dropped to 64°.
There were 40% to 60% chances for rain Thursday through Monday, but all the big rains missed us. Roscoe weatherman Kenny Landfried recorded 0.39” of precipitation on Friday, 0.08” on Saturday, and 0.20" Monday, although it rained somewhat more than that west of town. I heard of 0.70” on Monday, but there may have been more than that in some other areas.
The forecast is for sunny skies and highs of 91° today and tomorrow, but from Friday through Monday highs will once again be in the upper eighties with partly cloudy skies and a good chance of rain through Tuesday with chances of 40% Saturday, 60% on Sunday and Monday, and 40% on Tuesday. Here’s hoping we get a good rain on at least one of those days.
