The Gilchrist Grizzlies will venture away from home to challenge the McKenzie Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Gilchrist is no doubt hoping to put an end to a six-game streak of away losses dating back to last season.
Gilchrist's offense might be in the hot seat on Friday considering what happened against North Lake on Saturday. They were outmatched by the Cowboys at home and fell 67-0. That makes it the first time this season the Grizzlies have let down their home crowd.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask McKenzie). They took their contest at home on Thursday with ease, bagging a 51-19 victory over Washington School for the Deaf. The win was some much needed relief for the Eagles as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak.
Gilchrist's defeat dropped their record down to 2-4. As for McKenzie, their victory bumped their record up to an identical 2-4.
Gilchrist couldn't quite finish off McKenzie in their previous matchup back in October of 2022 and fell 27-25. Thankfully for Gilchrist, Griffin Withalm (who rushed for 188 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 15 yards and a touchdown) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
