Tonight we have a showdown between two of the top programs in Texas High School football square off at a packed Aledo Bearcat Stadium. The Aledo Bearcats hosted the Denton Guyer Wildcats for the first time in over four years and to avenge their 2019 loss. Guyer is led by one of the nation’s top QBs in Jackson Arnold as well as one of the best secondaries in Texas.
The first quarter was fast paced and had a lot of action. Jackson Arnold would help the Wildcats get on the board within the first two minutes by rushing in a 10-yard QB keeper. Aledo wouldn’t stay down long though. Junior running back Hawk Patrick-Daniels broke off a 25-yard run to help the Bearcats flip the field. Moments later Davhon Keys would tie the game up 7-7.
On the next drive Guyer once again looked like a well oiled machine, and quickly moved down the field. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, the Bearcats defense made some big plays in the back field ruining their drive. Guyer would come up short inside their own 15-yard line, and were held to a field goal. Aledo wasn’t able to do much to respond back, and punted back to Guyer a few plays later.
Jackson Arnold would show the whole crowd why he is one of the best quarterbacks in America by completely taking over the game. The next possession for Denton Guyer would be quick, easy, and result in a passing touchdown. Junior wide out Josiah Martin would come down with his first touchdown of the game right before the first quarter finished. The score read 17-7.
