The Hunt Warriors will be defending their home-field for the first time for the first time when they go up against the Beddingfield Bruins at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
Hunt is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They lost 35-14 to Northern Nash on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Warriors can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 146th, while the Knights are ranked 42nd).
Hunt wouldn't let Northern Nash keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Hunt can thank Keyshawn Richardson and CJ Dickerson for forcing both of them.
Meanwhile, Beddingfield couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell to Fike 27-23. The Bruins have struggled against the Demons recently, as their match on Friday was their fifth consecutive lost matchup.
Despite their loss, Beddingfield saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Sam Finch, who threw for 191 yards and a touchdown, was perhaps the best of all.
Everything went Hunt's way against Beddingfield in their previous matchup back in August of 2023 as Hunt made off with a 27-7 win. Does Hunt have another victory up their sleeve, or will Beddingfield turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
