ALEDO — The Graham Steers and Godley Wildcats will square off Friday night in a Class 4A Division II bi-district playoff matchup at Tim Buchanan Stadium with kickoff set for 7 p.m.
Godley (5-5, 3-2 in District) enters the postseason with momentum after a dominant 49-14 win over Hillsboro to close the regular season. The Wildcats, who finished third in their district, will look to carry that offensive surge into their first playoff appearance under the new district alignment.
Graham (7-3, 4-1 in District) secured the district’s second seed after edging Eagle Mountain 20-18 last week. The Steers have leaned on a balanced offense and a resilient defense throughout the season, earning key wins that solidified their playoff standing.
This matchup marks the first meeting between the two programs since 2018, when Graham outlasted Godley in a 70-45 shootout. Both teams have evolved since then, setting the stage for another high-energy battle with a trip to the area round on the line.
For Godley, maintaining its recent offensive rhythm will be critical against Graham’s playoff-tested roster. The Steers, meanwhile, will aim to use their defensive depth and postseason experience to keep the Wildcats’ playmakers in check.
Fans can expect an intense, physical contest Friday night in Aledo as two proud programs collide to keep their postseason hopes alive.
