Page has been a dominant force too and has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 131.6 rushing yards per game.

Bismarck didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Prescott in their previous meeting back in October of 2024, but they still walked away with a 33-29 victory. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Curley Wolves' Dwayne White, who rushed for 97 yards and a pair of scores on only eight carries. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for the Lions to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
