Football Preview: Murrah Mustangs vs. Callaway Chargers
The Murrah Mustangs are taking a road trip to take on the Callaway Chargers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: both posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
While Mustangs fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They took their contest on the road on Friday with ease, bagging a 35-6 victory over Port Gibson.
Murrah's defense made their presence known, laying out the QB four times. The heavy lifting was done by Landon Hurt and Floyd Harris who racked up all four sacks between them. Harris also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up two sacks and making 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, Callaway gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They never let Provine onto the board and left with a 39-0 win. The victory was a breath of fresh air for the Chargers as it put an end to their four-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Duran McClendon had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 140 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 63 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Marvin Moore was another key rusher, rushing for 59 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries.
Murrah didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Callaway in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, but they still walked away with a 22-16 win. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Moore, who rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will Murrah still be able to contain Moore? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
