Heavener football Coach Jeff Broyles hopes history repeats itself Friday night.
The last time the Wolves won two straight games was in 2012. The second win came against Valliant, Heavener’s opponent on the road Friday night in the District 2A-6 opener on the road. The Ledger will try to steam the game on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.
Heavener is 1-2 and boasts a 47-32 win over longstanding rival Hartshorne in its last outing two weeks ago before having a bye last week.
The Wolves’ bye week did allow some bumps and bruises to heal up.
“I wasn’t crazy about it,” said Broyles. “We worked on our tackling. We sat down as a staff and decided what we wanted to work on and tackling was definitely one of them. Did we get better? We will find out Friday night. I’d like to think we’re in a little better situation coming off a win than those guys.”
Despite Valliant’s 0-3 record, Broyles knows the Bulldogs present a challenge.
“They have three or four kids that we don’t have anyone on our team that can catch,” he said.
