Football Preview: Citronelle Wildcats vs. Faith Academy Rams
The Citronelle Wildcats will venture away from home to square off against the Faith Academy Rams at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Faith Academy took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Citronelle, who comes in off a win.
Citronelle will head into Friday's game hoping to keep the good times rolling: they only won by three when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 28-point they dealt Orange Beach on Friday. Citronelle blew past Orange Beach 42-14 on the road.
Citronelle got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Daylon Edmunds out in front who rushed for 71 yards on only six carries, and also threw for 64 yards and a touchdown. Sye Byrd also helped with two touchdowns in total.
Citronelle wouldn't let Orange Beach keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force three fumbles. It was truly a group effort as Bubba Cochran, Timothy Rivers, and Elijah Owens picked up one apiece. Cochran also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making 13 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, Faith Academy couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They had to suffer through a 36-0 loss at the hands of Fairhope.
Citronelle strolled past Faith Academy in their previous matchup back in September of 2023 by a score of 24-10. The rematch might be a little tougher for Citronelle since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
