The Princeton Tigers will hit the road for the first time this season to take on the Bluefield Beavers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Princeton will be strutting in after a victory while Bluefield will be coming in after a loss.
Princeton is headed out to face Bluefield after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Princeton claimed a resounding 41-12 win over Capital at home. Given the Tigers' advantage in MaxPreps' West Virginia football rankings (they are ranked fourth, while the Cougars are ranked 42nd), the result on Thursday wasn't entirely unexpected.
Marquel Lowe had a dynamite game for Princeton, rushing for 114 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries. Brad Mossor also helped out with an impressive 116 receiving yards.
Another reason for the win was Princeton's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Leading the way was Daniel Jennings and his two. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up two sacks and making three total tackles.
Meanwhile, Bluefield had to start their season on the road on Friday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They took a 10-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of Graham. The defeat continues a trend for the Beavers in their matchups with the G-Men: they've now lost four in a row.
Princeton took their victory against Bluefield in their previous matchup back in September of 2023 by a conclusive 27-6. The rematch might be a little tougher for Princeton since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
