Mike Says Carthage is 0-3 in our featured Games Of The Week falling to Lindale, Tyler Chapel Hill and Gilmer. They are 4-0 in games we don't feature. Henderson has been rolling. Their closest game this year was a 19 point victory over 4A Mount Pleasant. I apologize to Carthage for picking them as a Game Of The Week again as they will fall again. The LIONS win 30-24!!!

Chris Says Henderson has put up more points than anyone in District 16-3A and only Gladewater has a better defense.  This Henderson squad is as tough as I have seen them in years.  Sure, Carthage has scheduled tougher thus far, but in games with similar opponents, Henderson does much better.  (51-15 win over Center to Carthage's 27-0 & when the both took on Pittsburg, Henderson won 38-13 while Carthage escaped with a 23-16 overtime victory.)  Carthage moves to 0-4 in Games of the Week, and Henderson gets the win... LIONS take it 35-20!!!!
