Petrolia didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 10.7.
Petrolia's defense didn't let Haiden Bowman, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for three sacks. Leading the way was Wyatt Eakin with two.

Friday's game might be decided on the ground. Petrolia has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 302.1 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Archer City struggles in that department as they've been averaging 182.2 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's matchup turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Petrolia couldn't quite get it done against Archer City when the teams last played back in November of 2024 as they fell 34-22. Thankfully for the Pirates, Landon Smith (who rushed for 183 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.0 yards per carry) won't be suiting up this time.
