Holbrook opens its 2026 football season at home on Friday night, hosting Winslow in a big early-season clash for both teams. While the Bulldogs still play in the 3A North, and Holbrook is a member of the 2A North, at least in football, that doesn’t matter much when these two rivals take the field.
Last year Holbrook won a defensive battle in Winslow 12-0. Two years ago, the Bulldogs prevailed 29-6, also on Winslow’s field. Friday night, the two meet at Roadrunner Stadium.
Holbrook’s head coach, Paul Agramont, is in rebuild mode this year due to the loss of 18 seniors from last year’s roster. A season in which they went 6-5 overall, losing in the first round of the 2A state playoffs to Pima.
Winslow posted a 4-6 record a year ago but had only 11 seniors on a roster filled with younger players. This game could go either way. Can Holbrook’s inexperienced players use the home field advantage to start the season with a win, or does Winslow’s more veteran lineup prevail?
The game starts at 7 p.m. on Friday. All tickets are sold via GOFAN only. Tickets can be purchased online ahead of time or at the gate, which opens at 6 p.m. on Friday night.
