TATUM, Texas — The Week 4 CBS19 Game of the Week will feature two storied East Texas programs - the West Rusk Raiders and the Tatum Eagles
So far, West Rusk is 1-2 on the season with their lone win coming against Diboll. The Raiders are currently sitting at No. 14 in the #bEASTTexas Fabulous 15 poll.
This year, the Raider are looking to rebuild after having a majority of last year's squad graduated.
"We have a young bunch so starting off with some of the opponents we've done, they've done a good job of trying to grow up pretty quick," said head coach Rafe Mata. "Anytime you get thrown into the fire with teams like Gladewater and Diboll and Malakoff you don't have a choice but to grow up quick. And it won't get any easier this week against Tatum."
The Raiders will travel to Tatum to face the Eagles on Friday. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
