Randleman is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season.

Friday's contest might be decided in the trenches. Ledford has been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 155.1 rushing yards per game. It's a different story for Randleman, though, as they've been averaging only 64.3 rushing yards. How will they fare against such a dominant running game?
Ledford couldn't quite finish off Randleman when the teams last played back in September of 2019 and fell 14-12. Thankfully for the Panthers, Na'Hiem Lilly (who rushed for 241 yards and a pair of scores while picking up 7.3 yards per carry) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
