Suggested Video

The Beloit Trojans will challenge the Concordia Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Concordia took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Beloit, who comes in off a win.

Beloit is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Friday. They took their match at home with ease, bagging a 52-6 victory over Lyons.

Joel Rexroat went supernova for Beloit, rushing for 208 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.9 yards per carry. The dominant performance gave him a new career- in rushing yards. Another rusher making a difference was Jennings Sloan, who rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.

Sloan wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Beloit was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 331 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 178 rushing yards in four consecutive matchups dating back to last season.

Beloit wouldn't let Lyons keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Beloit can thank Alex Laflen and Eli Johnson for forcing both of them. Laflen didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made two total tackles.

Meanwhile, Concordia had to suffer through a 41-8 loss at the hands of Wamego. The loss continues a trend for the Panthers in their matchups with the Red Raiders: they've now lost three in a row.

Beloit came up short against Concordia in their previous matchup back in October of 2023, falling 14-6. Will Beloit have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other football content.
