Football Preview: Murphy Panthers vs. Williamson Lions

Suggested Video

The Murphy Panthers will take on the Williamson Lions at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Murphy, yet to win a game, are hoping to taste some of the success that has characterized Williamson's (thus far) undefeated season.

Last Friday, Murphy took a blow against Spanish Fort, falling 44-6. While losing is never fun, the Panthers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Alabama football rankings (they are ranked 170th, while the Toros are ranked 18th).

Meanwhile, a win is a win, as they say, even a pretty close 6-2 victory over Rain. The six-point effort marked the Lions' lowest-scoring game of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.

Murphy's defeat dropped their record down to 0-5. As for Williamson, they pushed their record up to 5-0 with the win, which was their third straight on the road.

Things could have been worse for Murphy, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 22-6 loss to Williamson in their previous matchup back in May of 2021. Can Murphy avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
