No. 13 O'Donnell (7-1, 2-0) at No. 2 Borden County (6-2, 2-0)

Friday, 7:30

A battle of the two remaining undefeated teams in Division 1, District 4.

Borden County is on a roll after a pair of early season losses and has four wins over teams ranked in the top 11 in the state. On the other side is an O’Donnell team whose only loss came to top-ranked Sterling City. After their bye week, the Eagles have given up a total of 12 points in their last three games.

There is a lot of history here with the coaching staffs, as O'Donnell head coach Fernando Baeza will be making a sort of homecoming. He played on the first Borden County state championship team when current head coach Trey Richey was an assistant in 1997. He was also an assistant under Richey at Borden County.

Richey knew this day was coming and that Baeza would have the Eagles in this position.

“He was one of the best athletes and best competitors I ever coached,” Richey said. “He’s one of the most loyal and hard-working coaches I have ever met. Great young man, love him like one of my own. My kids all love him too. He is a great man, father, husband, son, coach and friend. Never doubted he would get O’Donnell to this position to play for a district championship.”
