The Montgomery Catholic Knights will head out on the road to square off against the Andalusia Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Montgomery Catholic is currently enjoying a perfect season and no doubt wants to keep things rolling.
Last Friday, Montgomery Catholic humbled Greenville with a 50-14 victory. Considering the Knights have won seven contests by more than 27 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Josh Harriell continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 153 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August. Another rusher making a difference was Giovanni Hayner, who rushed for 58 yards and three touchdowns.
He was just one part of a punishing run game: Montgomery Catholic was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 236 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 181 rushing yards in four consecutive matchups.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Andalusia). They breezed by Carroll on the road to the tune of 45-14 on Friday. Given the Bulldogs' advantage in MaxPreps' Alabama football rankings (they are ranked 73rd, while the Eagles are ranked 221st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Andalusia didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Carmello Hill, Kielan Davis, and Kalvin Woods picked up one apiece. Woods is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
Montgomery Catholic's win was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-0. As for Andalusia, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches, which provided a nice bump to their 5-4 record this season.
Montgomery Catholic beat Andalusia 27-14 in their previous meeting back in October of 2023. The rematch might be a little tougher for Montgomery Catholic since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
