The Richwoods Knights will hit the road for the first time this season to face off against the Manual Rams at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
Richwoods is leaving town to face Manual after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Richwoods had to suffer through a 55-12 loss at the hands of Normal Community. The Knights haven't had much luck with the Ironmen recently, as the team's come up short the last six times they've met.
Meanwhile, Manual had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They took a blow against Normal University on Friday, falling 64-28. While losing is never fun, the Rams can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Illinois football rankings (they are ranked 399th, while the Pioneers are ranked 166th).
Richwoods took their win against Manual in their previous meeting back in October of 2023 by a conclusive 21-0. Will Richwoods repeat their success, or does Manual have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
