The Scotlandville Hornets will head out on the road to face off against the Woodlawn-B.R. Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that the pair suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.
Last Friday, Scotlandville took a serious blow against Catholic-B.R., falling 55-23. While losing is never fun, Scotlandville can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Louisiana football rankings (they are ranked 124th, while Catholic-B.R. is ranked 19th).
Meanwhile, Woodlawn-B.R. fell victim to Central's stalwart defense on Friday and couldn't make it onto the board. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 35-0 to the Wildcats, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. Woodlawn-B.R. has now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Scotlandville's loss was their fourth straight at home, which dropped their overall record down to 1-8. Admittedly, the team was facing some tough opposition over that stretch, including 8-0 Zachary and 6-3 Central (their opponents had an average overall winning percentage of 72.2% over those games). As for Woodlawn-B.R., they have traveled a rocky road recently, as they've lost five of their last six matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-7 record this season.
Scotlandville didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Woodlawn-B.R. in their previous meeting back in November of 2022, but they still walked away with a 28-24 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Scotlandville since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
