Football Preview: Kokomo Wildkats vs. Marion Giants

Suggested Video

The Kokomo Wildkats will head out on the road to square off against the Marion Giants at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.

Kokomo can't be to happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home last Friday. They lost 35-14 to New Palestine. While losing is never fun, the Wildkats can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Indiana football rankings (they are ranked 68th, while the Dragons are ranked 16th).

Meanwhile, Friday just wasn't the day for Marion's offense. They were beaten by Mississinewa 35-0 on Friday. The loss continues a trend for the Giants in their matchups with the Indians: they've now lost four in a row.

Everything came up roses for Kokomo against Marion when the teams last played back in October of 2023 as the squad secured a 35-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Kokomo since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
