Goliad(6-1) @ Mathis(5-1)

[regaleagle]

Looks like Goliad has another important game in district this week against the Mathis Pirates. Goliad was listed this week in the AP Poll for 3A as #11, finally cracking the Top Twenty for the first time this season. I have done some due diligence regarding the schedules and games played by both of these teams. Goliad's only loss came against 2A power #7 Shiner, who just lost in overtime to #1 ranked Refugio in 2A this past week. Goliad lost that game 34-29 in Week 3 of the season. Mathis lost their only game of the season in Week 2 to a 2A power also....Refugio, haha. That score was 56-13. Goliad has averaged a little over 45 pts/game(318 in 7 games) while giving up about 14 pts/game(96) versus their schedule. Mathis has scored a total of 250 pts. and given up 156 pts. in just 6 games played against their schedule. Well who has played the "tougher" schedule? Let's take a look:
