Football Preview: Prescott Curley Wolves vs. Salem Greyhounds

Suggested Video

The Prescott Curley Wolves will square off against the Salem Greyhounds at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams might be coming in a bit winded given how much these teams ran up and down the field in their prior games.

Prescott had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They blew past Crossett 53-10 on the road. The matchup was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Curley Wolves had established a 37 point advantage.

K. J. Page had a dynamite game for Prescott, rushing for 98 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries.

Page wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Prescott was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 329 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 178 rushing yards in four consecutive matches dating back to last season.

Meanwhile, Salem gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past Pocahontas 30-28.

Salem relied on the efforts of Jackson Taylor, who rushed for 22 yards and three touchdowns, and Kaden Brink, who rushed for 161 yards and a touchdown.

Everything came up roses for Prescott against Salem in their previous meeting back in November of 2022 as the squad secured a 41-6 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Prescott since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
