Brandon and Oak Grove are an even 5-5 against one another since October of 2018, but not for long. The Bulldogs will head out to challenge the Warriors at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Brandon is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Mississippi's top teams: Petal, who was ranked sixth at the time (Brandon was ranked 12th). The Bulldogs fell 27-21 to the Panthers on Friday. On the bright side, the 21- point effort marked the Bulldogs' highest-scoring game to date.
Meanwhile, Oak Grove made easy work of Meridian on Friday and carried off a 42-21 victory. The Warriors might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four matchups by 21 points or more this season.
Brandon better keep an eye on Kellen Hall. He was instrumental in Oak Grove's win, throwing for 148 yards and three TDs while completing 80% of his passes, and also punching in one score on the ground. What's more, Hall racked up 149.4 passer rating, the most he's had since back in November of 2024. Another player making a difference was Chavel Williams Jr., who gained 98 total yards and a touchdown.
Oak Grove's defense made their presence known, laying out the QB four times. In that department, Pedro Anderson was the leader with three sacks.
Oak Grove is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 5-3 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 36.2 points over those games. As for Brandon, they now have a losing record of 3-4.
Brandon didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Oak Grove in their previous matchup back in October of 2024, but they still walked away with a 31-27 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bulldogs since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
