HISTORY Vs. GARLAND
This is the first ever meeting between the Garland Owns and the Marshall Mavericks.
Garland ISD has eight high schools and they are all aligned into the same 6A district.
Marshall has only played one of the schools: Garland Lakeview Centenial
The Mavs faced LC in the 1988 state quarterfinals at Floyd Casey Stadium in Waco. Marshall won 24-14.
They met again in the 1990 Bi-District round at the Cotton Bowl and Marshall won 36-26.
DID YOU KNOW???
The last time Marshall played a team in non-district play that they had never faced before was in 2017 Vs. Alvin Shadow Creek.
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
This is the final warm up before district play begins for Marshall.
The Maverick running game has shown promise with 395 yards Vs. Tyler and Longview.
Doug John has proven to be a beast. Getting Denjh Montgomery is critical to the formula this season.
The Maverick passing game has yet to really show it's face this season with only 7-24 passes completed for 18 yards. The passing game is a MUST if Marshall plans to challenge Terrell, Texas High, and Mount Pleasant for the top spots in the district.
The Maverick defense has really struggled this season. They surrendered no less than FOUR touchdown plays over 50 yards Vs. Tyler. That trend continued last week against Longview as the Lobos had multiple long plays for scores.
