James Buchanan hasn't had much luck against Susquenita recently, but that could start to change on Friday. The James Buchanan Rockets are taking a road trip to take on the Susquenita Blackhawks at 7:00 p.m. Susquenita took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on James Buchanan, who comes in off a win.

James Buchanan is headed out to face Susquenita after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. James Buchanan skirted past York County Tech 15-13. The victory was some much needed relief for the Rockets as it spelled an end to their seven-game losing streak dating back to last season.

Susquenita kicked off their season on the road on Friday and hit a couple of potholes. They had to suffer through a 58-0 loss at the hands of West Perry. While losing is never fun, the Blackhawks can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania football rankings (they are ranked 357th, while the Mustangs are ranked 136th).

Susquenita wouldn't let West Perry keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Susquenita can thank Cole Robinson and Andy Herrera for forcing both of them.

James Buchanan took a serious blow against Susquenita in their previous matchup back in October of 2023, falling 48-6. Thankfully for James Buchanan, Derek Gibney (who threw for 262 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 42 yards and a touchdown) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
