BGC Game of the Week: Smithson Valley, New Braunfels to face off in key district game Smithson Valley will host New Braunfels at 7 p.m. Friday at Ranger Stadium
There are three weeks left in the high school football regular season, and our Game of the Week on Friday night is a huge district contest between Smithson Valley and New Braunfels.
The Rangers are 6-1 and 4-0 in District 13-5A-1. They’ve won five in a row, including four straight to open district play, and they sit in first place. They’re getting ready to play an unhappy Unicorns team that dropped a game Friday they felt they should have won.
The Unicorns had a 17-point halftime lead against the Pieper Warriors, only to see Pieper come back to win 28-24 and hand New Braunfels its first loss of the season, dropping them to 6-1 overall and 3-1 in district. It’s the first time this season New Braunfels hasn’t scored in the second half.
Smithson Valley will host New Braunfels at 7 p.m. Friday at Ranger Stadium. The Rangers lead the all-time series 15-8.
