The Mustangs (1-2) are coming home to face off against the San Antonio Brackenridge Eagles (0-3).
After two close losses against the Jarrell Cougars and the Llano Yellow Jackets, Marble Falls head coach Keri Timmerman is focused on finishing strong.
“We’ve got to find a way to finish, and that is one of the things we’re focused on this week,” he told KBEY 103.9 FM host Ben Shields in a pre-game interview.
Despite the recent setbacks, Timmerman is optimistic going into Friday.
“I think it will be a great night for the Mustangs,” he said.
Timmerman is not underestimating the winless Eagles. He hit home the need for the Mustangs to stay on top of Brackenridge’s multifaceted offense and pressurizing defense.
“We just need to do a great job on our defense,” he said. “We may give them a little bit on the edges, but we’re not going to give up the big play. We just gotta do a good job making sure we match protection and get the ball out on time, and that we are smart with the ball. Don’t give things away that we don’t need to give away.”
