Stephenville is currently ranked No. 2 in Class 4A Division I, according to Dave Campbell’s Texas Football.
Mustangs head coach Keri Timmerman views contests against powerhouse teams as a test for his players.
“I think you just have to constantly talk to your kids about where they are,” he told KBEY 103.9 FM Radio Picayune’s Ben Shields in an interview. “We are a team that is still developing and growing. You see a different level when you play a team like Stephenville.
The Mustangs will have to win their next two games against Lampasas and Brownwood (5-3, 2-0) to make the playoffs.
