Football Preview: Wray Eagles vs. Scott Beavers

Suggested Video

The Wray Eagles will face off against the Scott Beavers at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Both are strolling into their matchups after big wins in their previous games.

Last Friday, Wray took their contest at home with ease, bagging a 56-21 victory over Goodland. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 34th in Colorado, while the Cowboys are ranked 132nd in Kansas), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Casey Midcap went supernova for Wray, rushing for 184 yards and five touchdowns on only 13 carries, while also throwing for 55 yards and a touchdown. With that strong performance, Midcap is now averaging an impressive 102 rushing yards per game. Another player making a difference was Austin Collins, who gained 65 total yards and a touchdown.

Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Wray was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 428 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.

Wray's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Collins and Wyatt Fonte.

Meanwhile, Scott gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They blew past Cimarron 35-0 at home.

Wray took a serious blow against Scott in their previous matchup back in September of 2023, falling 54-22. Will Wray have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other football content.
