Eastside is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Central Wise. Eastside slipped by Central Wise 22-21 on Friday.

Meanwhile, Hurley couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They were outmatched by Sherman at home and fell 47-20. While losing is never fun, the Rebels can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 323rd in Virginia, while the Tide are ranked 80th in West Virginia).

Eastside didn't have too much breathing room in their match against Hurley in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, but they still walked away with a 38-32 win. Will Eastside repeat their success, or does Hurley have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
