Weston High School hosts Doyline this Friday evening for a key District 1B matchup that finds the girls and boys squads from both schools needing a victory to stay in touch with the leaders.  

The action will begin with a 6:00 pm tip off where the Lady Wolves (14-8, 1-1) look to get back on track after dropping a hard fought contest against rival Quitman that ended a three game winning streak. On paper, it looks as WHS should have no problem posting a victory as Doyline enters with a 1-16 record that includes losses in their last 13 games. In comparable district games Weston beat Simsboro 46-21 while Doyline lost to the Lady Tigers by a 44-16 score. 

The “favorite” shoe is on the other foot when it comes to the boys contest though. Needing a victory to have any remote chance of staying in the district title race after dropping their first two 1B games, WHS, which now sits at 6-16 on the year, has a tall task ahead. Even though Doyline was shocked last week by Simsboro in their district opener that ended a five game winning streak, the Panthers still sport an impressive 18-3 record. Giving Weston hope is the fact that Doyline doesn’t own a single victory over a team with a winning record the main reason that they sit at #15 in the Class B rankings, despite being tied for the fourth most wins.
