Football Preview: Kent County Trojans vs. Arcadia Firebirds
The Kent County Trojans will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the Arcadia Firebirds at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
Kent County is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They lost 35-12 to Bohemia Manor on Friday. The loss continues a trend for the Trojans in their matchups with the Eagles: they've now lost four in a row.
Meanwhile, Arcadia came into Thursday's game having lost four straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They came out on top against Charles City by a score of 27-14 on Thursday. The Firebirds pushed the score to 27-6 by the end of the third, a deficit the Panthers cut but never quite recovered from.
The critical scores for Arcadia came from Lavor Johnson, Djas Lucas, and Malachi Palmer.
Arcadia's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Jordan Cropper and ZyAir Harmon. Djasley Lucas was another major factor on D, picking up two sacks and making seven total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Kent County took a serious blow against Arcadia in their previous matchup back in September of 2023, falling 41-6. Thankfully for Kent County, Bradley Hall (who threw for 119 yards and three touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 84 yards on only 11 carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
