Thursday's Game
South Houston vs Pasadena
The South Houston Trojans are coming off an impressive upset win over Dobie 20-7 (also see "SoHo Shocker"). The defense was stellar in the win over Dobie with LB Joshua Batiste leading the charge. If the offense can come along some more and put some points up, this team will get a few more wins under their belt.
The Pasadena Eagles look to rebound after a 49-17 loss to Pasadena Memorial last week. The Eagles were able to move the ball somewhat effectively, but were just not able to capitalize when given the scoring opportunities.
Prediction : Trojans by 3

The Pasadena Memorial Mavericks are coming off a 49-17 win over Pasadena last week.(also see "Mavericks handle Eagles with ease.").
