Nanih Waiya has enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will venture away from home to take on the Ethel Tigers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
Last Friday, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Nanih Waiya beat French Camp Academy 38-34.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Ethel). They blew past McAdams 34-12 on Thursday. The team's explosion on offense also rewarded the Tigers with their most commanding win of the season.
A big part of Ethel's win came down to the chemistry between Jake Newman and his top target Matthew Arnold. Newman threw for 351 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 12.1 yards per attempt while Arnold picked up 252 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Arnold showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 67 yards.
Ethel's defense made their presence known, laying out the QB four times. McAdams' QB won't forget Zantavious Clark anytime soon given he sacked him twice.
Nanih Waiya is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a massive bump to their 4-5 record this season. As for Ethel, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 4-4.
Nanih Waiya was able to grind out a solid win over Ethel when the teams last played back in October of 2023, winning 30-22. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Ethel's Marcus Jones, who rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Nanih Waiya to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
