LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – Tonight, the Lubbock High Westerners have the chance to bring home the coveted \u201cSilver Spurs\u201d for the first time since 2007. On the other side is the Monterey Plainsmen, who will try to take care of business against their Hub City rivals to the north- just as they did with last week with their in-town rivals to the west, Coronado. Monterey head coach Jason Sims says this year\u2019s new-look Westerner squad has given his players and coaches plenty of reasons to stay focused.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re either getting better, or you\u2019re getting worse, and so- every rep matters when you practice, so when you practice that way and prepare that way, it makes it almost impossible to overlook an opponent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
As for Lubbock High (1-4, 0-1), head coach Juan Rodriguez believes a victory is within reach, but they will need to play at a much-higher standard to beat Monterey (3-3, 1-1).<\/p>\n
\u201cFacing Monterey, I think they do an excellent job. They\u2019ve got a great thing going, they\u2019ve got a great program, they\u2019re doing great things. They play a different level of ball that we\u2019ve got to raise our game to, so that we can have a successful night\u201d<\/p>\n
Kickoff set for 7 p.m. You can catch the game on KCBD.com<\/a> , KCBD YouTube, and on the KCBD Connected TV app.<\/p>\n
