Football Preview: Adair Warriors vs. Antlers Bearcats
After two games on the road, Adair is heading back home. They will welcome the Antlers Bearcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both are strolling into their matches after big wins in their previous games.
Last Friday, everything went Adair's way against Commerce as Adair made off with a 34-8 victory. The Warriors might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six games by 26 points or more this season.
Adair relied on the efforts of Kaden Boucher, who rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.5 yards per carry, and Cooper Mccord, who rushed for 60 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 84 yards.
Adair didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Luke Wilson and Ethan Mccord.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Antlers). They breezed by Spiro to the tune of 52-19 on Friday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Adair pushed their record up to 10-0 with the victory, which was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 42.2 points per game. As for Antlers, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 4-5 record this season.
Adair strolled past Antlers in their previous meeting back in November of 2017 by a score of 28-14. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Antlers' Kyler Gee, who rushed for 72 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 64 receiving yards. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Adair to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
