Friday night football: Week 4 matchups
It’s Week 4 of the 2025 high school football season. Marble Falls and Llano hit the road Sept. 19, while Burnet and Faith Academy play at home.
Here’s a preview of Friday night’s matchups:
Marble Falls Mustangs vs. Brackenridge Eagles
KICKOFF: 7 p.m. Friday
WHERE: SAISD Sports Complex, 1000 Edwards in San Antonio
LISTEN/WATCH: Listen to the contest on KBEY 103.9 FM Radio Picayune or at KBEYFM.com starting with a 7 p.m. pregame show. Watch a livestream of the game at DailyTrib.com.
LAST WEEK: Llano 50, Marble Falls 18
The Mustangs (1-2) travel to San Antonio to take on the Brackenridge Eagles (1-2). Marble Falls is looking for a win after a tough loss to Llano (3-0) in Week 3.
Mustangs head coach Keri Timmerman saw a silver lining in the loss to the Yellowjackets and believes his team showed promise.
“We’re proud of our kids. There was a lot of really positive stuff (in the Llano game),” Timmerman told KBEY 103.9 FM’s Ben Shields in an interview. “Our kids got confidence Friday night, but a win is a win and a loss is a loss.”
The Marble Falls squad now focuses on Brackenridge, a team the Mustangs beat 49-0 in the 2024 season.
“I think there is excitement knowing this is a team we should take care of,” Timmerman said.
Burnet Bulldogs vs. Fredericksburg Billies
KICKOFF: 7:30 p.m. Friday
WHERE: Bulldog Stadium, 1401 Main St. in Burnet
PREVIEW: Tune in to KBEY 103.9 FM Radio Picayune at 9 a.m. Wednesdays throughout the season for “In the Bulldogs Huddle” with head coach Ben Speer, who joins host Ben Shields for a chat about everything Burnet football.
LAST WEEK: Burnet 31, Little River Academy 28
The Bulldogs (1-2) took home their first win of the season last week against the Little River Academy Bumblebees (0-3). This week, they face the Fredericksburg Billies (0-3) at home.
“It’s always nice after you get a win, that first win of the season,” Speer told Ben Shields in a KBEY 103.9 FM interview. “It gives everyone a little boost, a little shot in the arm, and you feel like you’re heading in the right direction.”
While the Billies have yet to put a tick in the win column, Speer noted that they could still be a very tough opponent, as they have had all challenging foes so far, including Lampasas (3-0), Wimberley (2-1), and Kerrville Tivy (2-1).
“Their 0-3 record doesn’t really speak about them. They’ve played some really good teams,” he explained to Shields. “I’m sure they think they’ve got a shot this Friday as well.”
Burnet beat the Billies 22-15 in 2024.
Faith Academy Flames vs. Nueces Canyon Panthers
KICKOFF: 7:30 p.m. Friday
WHERE: Faith Academy, 3151 RR 1431 East in Marble Falls
LAST WEEK: Heritage Christian 54, Faith Academy 46
The Flames (2-1) suffered their first loss of the season against Heritage Christian (3-0) last Friday. They’re looking to reignite their hot streak against Nueces Canyon (1-2) this week.
Faith Academy scored a solid win, 68-19, when the two teams played in 2024.
Llano Yellowjackets vs. Jarrell Cougars
KICKOFF: 7 p.m. Friday
WHERE: Jarrell High School, 1100 FM 487 in Jarrell
