SALADO, Texas — A year after China Spring finished 4-8 overall, the expectations for 2020 were extremely high after graduating just 11 seniors. This season, the Cougars have jumped out to a 6-0 record with a No. 6 ranking in the latest Dave Campbell Texas Football Class 4A, Division II poll.
After last week's 31-point win over Gatesville, China Spring will now hit the road for a huge test this Friday night against No. 10 Salado at Eagle Stadium for our 6 News Game of the Week. Salado is coming off a hard-fought 20-15 road win at Connally on Friday.
The Cougars enter this match up 2-0 in district play after defeating Jarrell (52-20) and Gatesville (58-27) while the Eagles are also 2-0 with wins over Gatesville (63-3) and Connally (20-15).
Weekend Sports Anchor Kurtis Quillin will be live from Eagle Stadium at 6 p.m. Friday with Salado Head Coach Alan Haire and with the winning team during Friday Night Lights.
In this week's "Flex" Game of the Week, a 3A Division I match up will feature Lorena playing host to McGregor. Lorena is coming off a tough 49-41 loss at Troy two weeks ago while McGregor won a 58-57 thriller against Troy last Friday.
