Plainview earns second straight victory, downing Coronado 41-35 - fox34.com

Plainview moves to 2-2 on the season with the victory, while Coronado drops to 1-3. The Mustangs came out on the wrong end of a high-scoring night, and the six-point margin kept it tight to the final whistle.

Next Friday brings a much tougher test for the Bulldogs. They travel to face No. 6 Lubbock-Cooper Liberty, a ranked opponent that will show whether this two-game streak means anything or if Plainview caught a break against a struggling Coronado squad. The Mustangs get a quicker turnaround, hosting Abilene Wylie next Thursday as part of the "Thursday Night Throwdown," which airs on KMYL and gives Coronado just days to regroup instead of the usual week.

For Lubbock area football fans, this is a swing week. Coronado needed Friday's win and didn't get it, leaving little time to recover before a short-week matchup. Plainview, on the other hand, carries its streak into a real measuring stick against a top-ten opponent.

Two teams, two different clocks. One gets a full week to prepare for a ranked foe, the other has four days to answer on national television.
