If you thought last week?s game was something, tonight?s may be ever bit as good. Springtown has the same M-O as Alvarado but they have the wins to back up their game. {{more: continue …}}

The Porcupines of Springtown are on a roll and want to keep it that way. They opened the season with a 38-6 win over FTW Arlington Heights. They followed that with a 61-0 win over Sanger. And then last week while Kennedale took a win over Alvarado 42-40, the Pojos won a slugger against Glen Rose 49-43.
?
they seem to be the real deal this year …
?
Kennedale and Springtown have played each other at least 22 times over the years and the Wildcats have the most wins but it is close, 12-9-1. Most of Kennedale?s win have come in the last several years and by large margins while they both have played in the same district. Springtown?s last win was recorded in 1989. So if Springtown can get ahead of Kennedale tonight, expect no mercy.

Texas Football had Springtown picked to finish third in District 4-4A this year with Wichita Falls Hirschi first, followed by Decatur. Mineral Wells, Gainesville and Burkburnett completes the district. However with Springtown?s strong start, District 4-4A maybe more of a toss-up than expected.
?
Last year the Pojos finished 4-1 in district play just behind Kennedale. Fifth year head coach Brian Hulett was expected to return 14 starters from last year?s team that was 6-6 on the season. The returning starters are split evenly on offense and defense.?big time running back …??
