Football Preview: MACCRAY Wolverines vs. B O L D Warriors
MACCRAY hasn't had much luck against B O L D recently, but that could start to change on Friday. The MACCRAY Wolverines will take on the B O L D Warriors at 7:00 p.m.
MACCRAY can't be to happy about their upcoming road match considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Thursday. They took an 18-8 hit to the loss column at the hands of Wabasso.
Meanwhile, B O L D took their game on the road on Friday with ease, bagging a 56-14 win over Windom. Given the Warriors' advantage in MaxPreps' Minnesota football rankings (they are ranked 23rd, while the Eagles are ranked 180th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
B O L D relied on the efforts of Hudson Vosika, who gained 214 total yards and three touchdowns, and Jack Gross, who rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. Vosika's longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, B O L D was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 525 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
One reason for the win was B O L D's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for five sacks. In that department, Owen Flann was the leader with 2.5. His also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up 2.5 sacks and making seven total tackles (3.0 for loss).
MACCRAY was taken down by B O L D 67-7 in their previous matchup back in September of 2023. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Vosika, who rushed for 198 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also picked up 39 receiving yards and a touchdown. Now that MACCRAY knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
