Football Preview: Perry Maroons vs. Alva Goldbugs
The Perry Maroons will face off against the Alva Goldbugs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Alva took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Perry, who comes in off a win.
Perry is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Friday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Mannford 52-12 at home. With the Maroons ahead 33-6 at the half, the game was all but over already.
Perry had a senior duo take command as Jaxson Cunningham threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns while completing 78.3% of his passes and Whelan Carson picked up 132 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Carson was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 60 yards. Andrew Kukuk was another key player, gaining 144 total yards and a touchdown.
Perry wouldn't let Mannford keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Perry can thank Matthew Larkin and Kiylnd Williams for forcing both of them. Williams' also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up 1.5 sacks, forcing a fumble, and making seven total tackles (3.5 for loss).
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Perry was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 525 total yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Mannford only gained 91.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 35-7, which was the final score in Alva's tilt against Fairview on Friday. The loss continues a trend for the Goldbugs in their matchups with the Yellowjackets: they've now lost four in a row.
Perry couldn't quite finish off Alva in their previous matchup back in November of 2023 and fell 23-20. Will Perry have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other football content.
