The Nixa Eagles will take on the Webb City Cardinals 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.
Nixa is headed out to face Webb City after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Nixa took their match at home last Friday with ease, bagging a 49-14 victory over Republic.
Meanwhile, Webb City had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. Everything went their way against Lebanon as Webb City made off with a 35-13 win. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Cardinals had established a 21 point advantage.
Among those leading the charge was Jackson Lucas, who threw for 174 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 passes, and also rushed for 37 yards.
Webb City wouldn't let Lebanon keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force three fumbles. It was truly a group effort as Bryson Bard, Brock Renfro, and Mason Williams picked up one apiece. Williams didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made four total tackles.
Nixa was able to grind out a solid victory over Webb City in their previous matchup back in August of 2023, winning 14-7. The rematch might be a little tougher for Nixa since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
