The Mustangs (2-6) play the Badgers (7-2) for their final home game of the season on Friday night.
In a pregame interview, Mustangs head coach Keri Timmerman told KBEY 103.9 FM host Ben Shields that the recent bye week was welcome for the team, which had the opportunity to recuperate after a string of physical games.
“(The bye week) was a good time for us to heal up and get coached up and ready to go against Lampasas,” he said. “I think the kids have done great. It was a really physical game against Stephenville two weeks ago.”
The Mustangs suffered a tough loss against Stephenville (7-1) on Oct. 19. Stephenville is currently ranked third in the 4A Division 1 statewide, but Lampasas isn’t too far behind, at 13th.
“I feel like we’re a really heavy-stacked district, so every week for us is just a chance for us to improve and a chance for us to see if we can try to steal a game from somebody,” Timmerman said.
