Suggested Video

The Irondequoit Eagles will venture away from home to square off against the Webster Thomas Titans at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Irondequoit will be strutting in after a win while Webster Thomas will be coming in after a defeat.

Irondequoit is headed out to face Webster Thomas after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Irondequoit simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat Eastridge 43-0 at home. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' New York football rankings (they are ranked 117th, while the Lancers are ranked 388th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

A big part of the victory came down to the chemistry between Taiden Makubire and his top target Cameron Freeman. Makubire rushed for 30 yards and a touchdown while Freeman rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries. That's the most rushing yards Makubire has posted since back in September of 2023. Myles Wynn handled things on the ground, rushing for 91 yards.

Webster Thomas kicked off their season on the road on Saturday and hit a couple of potholes. They took a 21-13 hit to the loss column at the hands of Penfield. The Titans' loss continues a trend for the team, making it seven in a row dating back to last season.

Irondequoit strolled past Webster Thomas when the teams last played back in October of 2023 by a score of 24-6. The rematch might be a little tougher for Irondequoit since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
