The Sinton Pirates are looking to win their fourth Friday Night Fever Game of the Week trophy in-a-row. Theyre (5-0) undefeated hosting the (4-1) Calallen Wildcats who took the trophy week one, so who is going to shine on Friday night?Its a South Texas matchup that you want to see, Sinton football head Coach Michael Troutman said.Its a rivalry that kicked off 75 years ago. The Battle of Highway 77 has been played 20 times. Its finished in favor of Calallen for 12 matchups, Sinton for 7 and ending in 1 tie. This year stopping Calallens run game will be a challenge.Theyve got huge linemen," Troutman said. "They have a quarterback that can run. They have a running back thats tough, so out of respect were going to work.Calallen totals 1,261 yards on the ground, and it starts in the trenches.Most of us are seniors, so weve played with each other at some point in our whole high school career," Calallen senior offensive tackle Brady Buchanan said. "It helps a lot that we have that chemistry between each other. Like we know how fast each other are. We know how fast were going to get to the next person. We know whats possible on combos.After five weeks, Sinton is one of the few Coastal Bend teams on Dave Cambpell's Texas Football rankings at No. 4 in UIL 4A-DII.You know it starts with the quarterback," Calallen football head coach Charlie Reeve said. "I think theyve got two backs in the backfield that are good players. Hard to take down, physical runners. Theyve got one of the elite receivers in probably in the state of Texas, so weve got a big challenge ahead of us, but I think our guys are ready.That elite receiver is Jacoby James. Sinton has combined for 1,553 rushing yards and 630 passing yards. Getting through their line is no easy task.One of our main goals every week is to play on the opposing teams line of scrimmage, so I think thats one of our biggest things is being able to get that little bit of a push where everybody, not just the linebackers, can see the play a little better," Calallen senior running back and linebacker Jude Hernandez said. "Really know whats happening.Their last meeting in 1995 was won by Calallen 62-0. Since then, this rivalry has taken over other sports like baseball where that series is split with 5 wins each over the last decade.Its kind of fun know that some of the guys that I play baseball against at Calallen Ill see on the football field, so its going to be a good game, Sinton senior running back Derek Garcia said.Another rivalry is in powerlifting. Sinton senior middle linebacker Aiden Galvan competed against Calallen running back Ricardo Rodriguez at state in the 165 weight class.I mean weve just been talking trash to each other since then, so its going to be fun to finally see whos really going to show up, Galvan said.Our week 6 Game of the Week between Calallen and Sinton kicks off at 7:30 p.m. on Friday at Pirate Stadium. Catch the highlights on the Friday Night Fever and see which team brings home the trophy.
