Albany vs Hawley

[Albanyfan0678]

This game last year I think was good for both teams. I'm hoping it will be just as beneficial this year. The circumstances around this game is a bit different than last year but it's still a rare thing for 2 defending state champs to be playing. That said I think both teams are different teams than the year before with slight different styles, strengths and weaknesses. I know it will be a good test for us since the Lubbock Trinity game to see where we stand. I'm super excited for this game

This game will be a good measuring stick for both teams.
Game of the week in 2A for sure.

in my opinion a fully fit Albany would have beat Hawley last year,Albany this year has a very good defense the offense still needs some work

Per the Abilene reporter news

And as of 6 p.m. Thursday, they were still looking for a place to play with Hardin-Simmons’ Shelton Stadium, Wylie’s Hugh Sandifer Stadium and Jim Ned’s stadium as possible locations for the game.

“I’m just waiting on someone to say, ‘Yeah, c’mon,” Hawley coach Mitch Ables said.

I just want to compliment Hawley for a well played game tonight despite dealing with some adversity with a rained out field and personnel missed for a half. The way Hawley and Albany came together at the end is the height of sportsmanship and I wish Hawley well in their pursuit to defend their title. Hawley punched us in the mouth with that opening drive but I liked how we responded and played some football to get the game going afterwards. I feel both squads benefited alot from this matchup and now have a better grasp of what they can work on to improve. Good game
