Football Recap: J.H. Rose Falls to Northern Nash in First Game of Season + How To Watch

J.H. Rose had to start their season on the road on Friday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They took a 26-20 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Northern Nash Knights. The Rampants were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Knights apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in November of 2024.

Despite the loss, J.H. Rose still got an impressive performance from Chase Davis, who threw for 247 yards and a pair of TDs on only 17 passes. Daran Bell also helped out with an impressive 80 receiving yards.

J.H. Rose and Northern Nash should be looking forward to their upcoming games as both have a sizable advantage in the MaxPreps North Carolina Rankings.
