(Edinburg, Texas)-Both teams have so much in common. Both teams won district titles in 2020. Both teams won 6A Bi-District titles. And both teams lost in the area finals. Tonight, the only difference will be the HSSM Rankings. It’s No.1 Harlingen (1-0) at No.2 Edinburg Vela (1-0). Tonight’s game will be a dandy.
Harlingen head coach Manny Gomez always has that “grinch” smile when asked, how will your team do in 2021? It’s that look of, well, “we are coming at you” and nothing is going to stop us. As for the Sabercats, head coach John Campbell is all business. He really doesn’t have much to say until the game clock begins.
The Cardinals knocked off Laredo United South last week on the road in their season opener, winning 34-10 while the Sabercats dismantled the McAllen Memorial Mustangs 42-6. If the Cards expects to knock off the Sabercats tonight at Richard R. Flores Stadium, they must stop senior QB Chase Campbell and WR/RB PJ Rivera. Both players had great outings against the Mustangs last week. The Sabercats were potent on defense too. They allowed 121.0 yards, stopping the Mustangs. “I’m looking forward to this season,” says Manny Gomez, Harlingen HS head coach. (HSSMImages)
