There will be only one game Friday featuring both teams currently ranked in The Sporting News Texas Top 25 poll.

Kilgore, ranked No. 19 in the latest rankings, travels to Texarkana to take on Pleasant Grove, which comes in undefeated and ranked No. 22.

Last season’s UIL 4A Division I runner-up, Kilgore (2-1) opened this season with a hard-fought loss to defending 4A DII champion Carthage. But the Bulldogs have won back-to-back games in strong fashion, including last week, a 66-6 home dismantling of Gilmer.

Kilgore comes in averaging 41.6 points per game, led by quarterback Kayson Brooks, who has thrown for 661 yards on 30-of-68 passing with seven touchdowns, and running back Rayshaun Williams, who has 383 yards and four scores. Isaiah Watters and Lakeyleon Graves, a Texas State commit, head up the defense with both playing linebacker roles.

Pleasant Grove (3-0) is coming off a 49-7 road win last week at Daingerfield. The Hawks have allowed a grand total of 16 points in their three wins.

Among the players to watch for the Hawks are quarterback Colt Yancey, a move-in from Whitewright where he was an all-district player as a sophomore, defensive lineman Jaylen Foster (89 tackles and 7 sacks last season) and defensive back Jaidun Scales (73 tackles last season).

Another storyline in Friday’s matchup will be the return of Kilgore head coach Clint Fuller to Pleasant Grove, where he served as the Hawks’ defensive coordinator, including the team’s 2019 run to the state championship.
