Martin Warriors (5-2, 4-0) at Lamar Vikings (3-4, 2-2)

THE SERIES: The Vikings lead the series, 18-8-2, although Martin has won the last four and five of the last six. Lamar also owns a 14-8-1 edge at Cravens Field. 

LAST WEEK: Lamar was overwhelmed by Bowie, 63-35, the most points ever allowed by the Vikings. The previous record was 56, set by Arlington High in 2009. Martin crushed North Crowley, 47-7.

FINE AS NINE: Martin has now won nine consecutive district games, equaling the school record, set from 2009-11.

GETTING THEIR KICKS: Martin’s Ben Grogan set a new Arlington ISD record last week with six field goals against North Crowley. Grogan broke the city record of five, held by Sam Houston’s Ryan Liner in 1997, and his own school record of four, set against Lamar last season. In addition, Grogan’s 56-yarder in the third quarter is the third-longest in city history. Ironically, it’s also the third-longest in school history, trailing Jaden Oberkrom’s 60-yard blast against Sam Houston last year, and Trey McCord’s 57-yarder against Lamar in 2003.
