The Thrall Tigers varsity football team suffered a 51-21 defeat against the Blanco Panthers on Friday, Oct. 18, marking their second consecutive loss as they continue to search for their first district win of the season.

This followed a difficult outing the previous week, where Thrall fell 70-7 to Lexington.
Despite the defensive setbacks, the offense showed some bright spots.
Senior quarterback Chance Parker threw for 109 yards and a touchdown, connecting consistently with senior wide receiver Landon Gregory, who led the team with 125 receiving yards and a touchdown. Senior running back Avery Gomez provided a spark in the rushing attack, accumulating 56 yards on the ground and scoring twice. The Tigers fell to 5-3 overall and 0-2 in district play, while Blanco improved to 5-3 overall and 2-0 in the district.
