Westmoore unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They lost 38-13 to the Moore Lions on Friday. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it seven in a row.
Despite the loss, Westmoore still got an impressive performance from Elijah Rose, who picked up 42 receiving yards and one score, and also rushed for 71 yards on only eight carries.
Westmoore didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Chance Fanus. Westmoore got some further help from Logan Bean: he made 15 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Moore got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Ozias Adams out in front who rushed for 113 yards while picking up 7.1 yards per carry, and also caught one TD. That's the most rushing yards Adams has posted since back in September of 2024. Another player making a difference was Ken Coulter, who rushed for 60 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Coincidentally, Westmoore and Moore will both be playing Southmoore the next time they take the field. The Jaguars will head out to face the SaberCats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, while the Lions will head out to face them at 7:00 p.m. on the 12th.
