The Moscow Wildcats have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome the South Barber Chieftains on Friday.
Moscow is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 52 points two weeks ago, they were much more limited against Weskan on Friday. They had to suffer through a 62-6 loss at the hands of the Coyotes. The game was over by the end of the first half, with no points scored by either team from that point forward.
Meanwhile, after only six points in their last matchup, South Barber made sure to put some points up on the board against Otis-Bison last Friday. South Barber enjoyed a cozy 37-19 win over Otis-Bison. The Chieftains pushed the score to 29-6 by the end of the third, a deficit the Cougars cut but never quite recovered from.
South Barber found their leader in underclassman Austin Swonger, who rushed for 159 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also threw for 76 yards and two touchdowns. Swonger also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making 18 total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
South Barber's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Garen Cantrell and Swonger. The dominant performance also gave Cantrell a new career-high in rushing yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, South Barber was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 254 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Otis-Bison only rushed for 105.
Moscow now has a losing record at 1-2. As for South Barber, the victory got them back to even at 1-1.
