The Lakeview Honkers will be defending their home-field for the first time this season they go up against the Modoc Braves at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
Lakeview is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They were beaten by Henley 34-6 on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Honkers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Oregon football rankings (they are ranked 58th, while the Hornets are ranked eighth).
Meanwhile, after soaring to 34 points the game before, Modoc was a bit more limited in their matchup on Friday. They were dealt a 41-8 loss at the hands of Quincy. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest defeat the Braves have suffered against the Trojans since September 2, 2016.
The losing side was boosted by Lewis Crumwell, who rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run and that went for an incredible 52 yards.
Lakeview beat Modoc 27-20 when the teams last played back in September of 2021. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Modoc's Tre Larranaga, who rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.3 yards per carry. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Lakeview to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
