Shiner hosts the Bloomington Wildcats while the Cards are on the road against rival Hallettsville Sacred Heart
Bloomington at Shiner
The Wildcats make their second trip to Shiner this season, having played St. Paul earlier in the season.
Bloomington is currently 2-4 on the season and 0-2 in district. They are scoring 21.6 points a game and surrounding 23.16 points a game.
The ‘Cats run triple option, similar to the Comanches’ veer,  and main ball carriers are fullback Jordan Longoria (85-524,three touchdowns) and quarterback Don Reyes (52-400, six touchdowns). Lorenzo Dilworth has 293 yards rushing and six touchdowns.
“Our defense will need to play good assignment football, and take away the dive, quarterback keeper and pitch,” Shiner head coach Daniel Boedeker said. “Reyes reads the option well and does not make mistakes.”
Asael Salinas is currently the leading tackler with 39 tackles, 23 solo, 16 assists and three tackles for loss. 
Boedeker said he anticipates Bloomington will stack the box.
“We need to have consistency on our blocking and be able to sustain drives,” Boedeker said.
St. Paul at Sacred Heart
Fresh off a 41-14 win over Houston Northland Christian in the district opener, the Cardinals play at Hallettsville Sacred Heart.
“We are very excited for this game,” Cardinals head coach Jake Wachsmuth said. “These games are fun for everyone and you don’t get a lot of chances to play these types of games.”
Arlene Henke and Konnor Chance will likely be the main ball carriers for the Indians.
“They are very solid and like to run the ball but we know they can throw,” Wachsmuth said. “The last few weeks, they have established the run game. Our defense needs to recognize the formations and what they like to do out of them. We will also need to read our keys well.”
Trent and Layne Sevcik will each contribute to the Sacred Heart defense. 
“Our offense will need to keep the ball as much as possible and score as much as possible when we get the chance,” Wachsmuth said.
