Northridge has gone 9-1 against Goshen recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Raiders will be playing in front of their home fans against the RedHawks at 7:00 p.m. Northridge will be strutting in after a win while Goshen will be coming in after a loss.

Northridge is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They claimed a resounding 42-7 victory over Wawasee. The game was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 28-7.

Karsyn Rumfelt was nothing short of spectacular: he threw for 123 yards and three TDs on only nine passes, and also rushed for 74 yards on only six carries. That's the most passing touchdowns he has posted since back in October of 2024. Austin Horn was another key player, rushing for 75 yards and one score on only nine carries.

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Northridge was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 204 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.

Meanwhile, Goshen fell victim to Concord and their airtight defense on Friday. They were outmatched by the Minutemen and fell 42-0. While losing is never fun, the RedHawks can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Indiana football rankings (they are ranked 204th, while the Minutemen are ranked 55th).

Goshen has also been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-5 record this season. Northridge's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-6.

Everything came up roses for Northridge against Goshen in their previous meeting back in October of 2024, as the team secured a 42-3 victory. Will the Raiders repeat their success, or do the RedHawks have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
