The Shiner St. Paul-Hallettsville Sacred Heart rivalry game at Comanche Stadium tomorrow will be for more than bragging rights.
Both teams have not lost a district game and the winner will be taking home the district title.
"Early in the year, they had a tough time but they have gotten better and we have improved as well," Cardinals head coach Jake Wachsmuth said. "We are going to have to play hard and play well."
"Both teams are very good. It is a matter of who can play a little better."
"I consider St. Paul to be the best team in our district and the best one we face," Indians head coach Pat Henke said. "They are fundamentally sound in everything they do."
Sacred Heart has got a stout running game that has gotten better as the season has progressed.
"Our big thing on offense is not turning the ball over," Henke said. "We have to sustain our drives, be consistent and not make dumb mistakes like false-start penalties."
"Sacred Heart has some big running backs that we have to get to them early and not let them get going," Wachsmuth said. "On offense, we have to make sure we execute well, have no turnovers and sustain our drives."
The Cardinals have been very successfully with running the football and making some huge gains with those plays,
"We have to prevent St. Paul from making the big play," Henke said.
