The Early Longhorns have passed their first two tests of the 2026 campaign, and look to keep their perfect record intact when they welcome the undefeated Ballinger Bearcats for homecoming.

Kickoff between Early (2-0) and Ballinger (2-0) is set for 7:30 p.m. Friday at Longhorn Stadium.

Early collected a 47-18 victory at Breckenridge last week, a game which the Longhorns reeled off six consecutive touchdowns after falling behind in the first quarter.
