The Lumberjacks come into this game with a 9-2 record, while the Bumblebees have a 9-2 record. The Lumberjacks are averaging 27.1 points per game, while the Bumblebees are averaging 43.6 points per game. The Lumberjacks are led by running back Zach Mitchell, who is averaging 171.2 yards per game and 11.0 points per game. The Bumblebees are led by quarterback Kasey Mraz, who is averaging 161.5 yards per game and 10.9 points per game.

The Lumberjacks and Bumblebees have met once this season, with the Bumblebees winning 42-14.

I predict that the Diboll Lumberjacks will win this game, 28-24. The Lumberjacks are playing at home, and they have a more experienced running game in Mitchell. The Bumblebees will need to find a way to slow down Mitchell and the Lumberjacks’ rushing attack if they want to win this game.

The key to this game will be which team can control the clock and the tempo. The Lumberjacks are a run-heavy team, while the Bumblebees are more balanced. The Lumberjacks will need to establish their running game and control the clock, while the Bumblebees will need to protect Mraz and give him time to throw.

The game will be broadcast live on the NFHS Network. You can also watch the game on-demand on the NFHS Network app or website.
