The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/tx\/el-campo\/el-campo-ricebirds\/football\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">El Campo Ricebirds<\/a> are taking a road trip to  square off against the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/tx\/corpus-christi\/calallen-wildcats\/football\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Calallen Wildcats<\/a>  at 7:00  p.m.  on Friday. El Campo has a tough task ahead: they&#8217;ll enter the  game with three straight  defeats, while Calallen will come in with four straight  wins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\">On Friday, El Campo was within striking distance but couldn&#8217;t close the gap  as they fell  25-21 to La Vernia. That&#8217;s two games in a row now that the Ricebirds have lost by  exactly four  points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\">Meanwhile, a well-balanced attack led Calallen over Hidalgo Early College in every quarter on their way to victory  last Friday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that the Wildcats blew the Pirates out of the water with  a  62-0 final score. Given the Wildcats&#8217; advantage  in MaxPreps&#8217; Texas football rankings (they are ranked 339th, while the Pirates are ranked 1160th) , the win wasn&#8217;t entirely unexpected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\">El Campo better keep an eye on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/tx\/corpus-christi\/calallen-wildcats\/athletes\/connor-klostermann\/?careerid=pli8r1oprftp9\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Connor Klostermann<\/a>. He was instrumental in Calallen&#8217;s win, rushing for 84 yards, while also throwing for 81 yards and two  touchdowns. That&#8217;s the most  rushing yards  Klostermann has posted since back in August.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:5\"> Calallen was unstoppable on the ground and  finished the game with 203  rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they&#8217;ve now  rushed for at least 153  rushing yards in 17 consecutive  matchups  dating back to last season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:6\"> El Campo&#8217;s loss dropped their record down to 6-4. As for Calallen, their record is now 8-2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:7\"> El Campo suffered a grim  35-14 defeat to Calallen  in their previous meeting  back in November of 2024. Can the Ricebirds avenge their  defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We&#8217;ll find out soon enough.<\/p>\n<p>Article generated by <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/infosentience.com\/\">infoSentience<\/a> based on data entered on MaxPreps<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two dominant backs in Vladamir Garcia and Ricardo Rodrguez are getting ready to go toe-to-toe.
