After each having a week off, the Killingly Trailbazers and the Masuk Panthers will shake off the rust and duke it out at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Killingly is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They claimed a resounding 62-6 victory over New London. The Trailbazers have beaten the Whalers the last four times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Whalers has come to flipping the script.
Meanwhile, Masuk took their matchup last Friday with ease, bagging a 49-7 win over New Milford. The Panthers' offense checked out after the first half but had enough points banked to take the game anyway.
Killingly better focus on containing Aaron Champagne and Michael Charland as the pair were huge in Masuk's win. Champagne threw for 215 yards and two TDs while completing 83.3% of his passes, while Charland gained 101 total yards and two touchdowns. The dominant performance also gave Champagne a new career-high in passer rating (163.2).
Killingly's victory bumped their record up to 4-0. As for Masuk, the win got them back to even at 2-2.
Killingly might still be hurting after the 43-20 loss they got from Masuk when the teams last played back in September of 2023. Thankfully for the Trailbazers, Jason Champagne (who rushed for 102 yards and one score on only 11 carries, and also caught one touchdown) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
