The Chilton Pirates are taking a road trip to challenge the Italy Gladiators at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Italy took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Chilton, who comes in off a win.
While Pirates fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They came out on top against Hearne by a score of 13-6 on Friday. Given the Pirates' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 338th, while the Eagles are ranked 753rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Italy came up short against Scurry-Rosser on Friday and fell 27-20. The Gladiators have struggled against the Wildcats recently, as their matchup on Friday was their third consecutive lost matchup.
Chilton didn't have too much breathing room in their match against Italy in their previous matchup back in September of 2023, but they still walked away with a 20-14 victory. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Italy's Gared Wood, who rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also threw for 146 yards on seven of 20 attempts. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will Chilton still be able to contain Wood? There's only one way to find out.
