The Panthers will face off against the Galena Park Yellow Jackets today. Kingwood Park has gotten off to a rough 1-2 start while Galena Park is 1-1. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. at Galena Park ISD Stadium.

Quarterback Jaylon Henderson, who verbally committed to UTSA in June, sustained a lower leg injury late in last week’s loss to Humble. His status for tonight’s game is still questionable.

“Jaylon has done a real good job in the first three games and you know, he got a little nicked the other night but he’s been doing really well in practice and we’ll make that game-time decision when it’s time,” coach Jim Holley said. “But we’ve got a very capable backup in Zach Purcell and I know he’ll step in and do a great job for us.”

The squad won their season opener against Magnolia, 35-21, before dropping a close one to Huntsville, 51-49. Last week they recorded a double-overtime loss to Humble, 23-17.

“(The team is) about three plays away from being 3-0,” Holley said. “We just haven’t been able to put it all together as a team.”

Meanwhile, Galena Park dominated Houston Scarborough, 49-14, in their season opener. A week later, Tomball Memorial defeated them 14-0. The Yellow Jackets are coming off a bye.

Holley said Galena Park’s “secondary is very athletic. They play hard on both sides of the ball and are very well coached.”

This is the first of back-to-back Thursday night games for the Panthers. They host Crosby at Turner Stadium next Thursday night.
