For a second straight week a pair of RGVSports.com 5A/6A top five teams are set to square off, with the No. 4 PSJA High Bears hosting the No. 3 Los Fresnos Falcons in the RGVSports.com Game of the Week.
The highly anticipated contest is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday at PSJA Stadium in Pharr.
The Falcons are coming off a thrilling last-second victory over Laredo United South last week, with junior quarterback Robert Pineda finding the end zone as time expired for the 34-33 victory.
Pineda’s heroics kept Los Fresnos perfect to start the season, moving to 3-0 with the win.
Meanwhile, the Bears bounced back from a Week 2 loss to PSJA North in dominating fashion, steamrolling the Mission Veterans Patriots 34-0 on the road.
Senior quarterback Myles Lopez tossed three touchdown passes during the win, while the defense forced six turnovers.
Friday’s matchup marks the third straight year the Bears and Falcons have met during the regular season, with Los Fresnos winning the past two meetings by a combined four points. The Bears did get the last laugh last year, however, knocking Los Fresnos out of the playoffs during the bi-district round with a dominating 35-7 win.
