MART, Texas — A shortage of available officials has forced a change to Week 2's edition of Friday Night Lights on 6 News.

The original Game of the Week, Mart @ Marlin at 7:30 p.m. Friday, has been moved. The game will now be played at 8 p.m. Thursday, after the JV game, at Mart ISD Athletic Complex.

6 Sports' new Friday Night Lights Game of the Week will be a rivalry affair between Connally and La Vega.

Mart took care of Paris Chisum with a blowout 54-0 win in Week 1. The Bulldogs didn't fare as well, falling to 3A Div. I Crockett, 48-31. 

The Panthers have one goal in mind this season as they fell just short in the 2021 postseason: success. With Kevin Hoffman back, this team could surge through the regular season with ease and many wins. 

The Bulldogs were one of the best stories in all of Central Texas in 2021. The team made it all the way to the state semi-final game, but failed to defeat Hawley. This year, they're looking to make another deep run in the postseason.

You can stream Friday Night Lights on KCENTV.com, the 6 News mobile app, the KCEN News YouTube page and the 6+ app on Roku or Fire Stick.
