Friday, Sept. 25: Home game vs. Willis 7 p.m.

This Senior Night game will kick off the season. Seniors from organizations involved in football games will be honored at this home game. Willis moved up to a 6A school this year like Tomball, but is no longer in our district. Last year, Willis finished just after Tomball in district ranking, going 2-5 in district games. They also lost to the Coogs in the last game of the season 31-17. This is set to be an exciting opener for the season, and the Coogs are determined to come out on top once more.

Friday, Oct, 2; Away game vs. Waller 7 p.m.

The first away game will show how prepared the Coogs are to play on another team’s home field. Waller is one of two Class 5A teams that Tomball will play. Last year, Waller placed last in the district, coming out 0-7, with a loss to Tomball 30-21. A win for the Coogs is expected once again this year.

Friday, Oct. 9: Away game vs. Port Neches Groves 7 p.m.

The Coogs will once again be hitting the road as they play PNG, another non-district team in the 5A conference. PNG placed third in their district last year, going 5-3 in district game. They also beat Tomball 28-9. This game will be an interesting one, as the Coogs want to win this rematch, and PNG wants to prove they can beat a 6A team.

Friday, Oct. 16: Away game vs. Tomball Memorial

This game will be held at Kyle Field so more people can attend. The rivalry between these two schools is going to make for an interesting game, especially since both teams are once again in the same district. Last year, the Wildcats beat the Coogs 48-14, and the Coogs are looking to win this rematch against their rival school.

Thursday, Oct. 22: Away game vs. Klein Forest

The first game against Klein Forest will show just how capable the Coogs are against the Klein schools. Last year, the Eagles went 0-9 in district, finishing last. The Coogs are looking to come out on top of this school and prove they can compete with 6A schools.

Friday, Oct. 30: Home game vs. Klein Collins

This game puts a lot of pressure on the Coogs, as it’s the Homecoming Game. Although there will be no dance, the Homecoming Parade on the Wednesday before the game will attract a lot of attention to the team. Klein Collins also finished 1st with a record of 7-1 last year, putting the Coogs in an interesting playoff chase position as they want to win their Homecoming game against a tough opponent.

Thursday, Nov. 5: Away game vs. Klein Oak

The Coogs will be back at Klein Stadium for another challenging match up against the Panthers. They placed just after Klein Collins in their district last year, going 6-2 in district games. As this game is approaching the end of the season, it will be telling whether the Coogs are wearing out against 6A schools or if they can continue to hold their own against these large teams.

Friday, Nov. 20: Home game vs. Klein Cain

Senior Parent Night and the last home game of the year is expected to give the Coogs a boost as they play yet another powerful Klein school. The Hurricanes went 5-3 in district last year, placing 3rd. With fans in the crowd for the last home game of this unique season, the Coogs are hoping to come out on top and get a win against a 6A school on their home turf.

Friday, Nov. 27: Away game vs. Klein

The Coogs are looking to come out on top for their last game against a Klein school. The Bearkats went 4-4 last season and placed 6th in the district, putting the Coogs in a good position to take the win in their final game.
