WEATHERFORD, Texas — The 2025 season opener didn’t go the way the Roos had hoped as they fell 35-21 Friday to Hurst L.D. Bell at Bedford’s Pennington Field.
Weatherford kept it close early, trailing just 14-7, before the Blue Raiders pulled away with several explosive runs to build a four-score lead. The Roos battled back in the fourth quarter with two touchdowns, including a 14-yard strike from quarterback Jacob Hemphill to John Magill.
Weatherford will look to regroup Friday when it hosts Azle in a Parker County rivalry matchup at Kangaroo Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. The Hornets dropped their opener to Abilene Cooper, 49-25.
The Lady Roos volleyball team turned in a strong showing at the Arlington Classic, going 3-1 over the weekend to move to 14-9 on the year. Tournament play is now complete for the season. Weatherford will host Mineral Wells on Tuesday and travel Friday to Keller Fossil Ridge.
