The Fall River Bulldogs will face off against the Ferndale Wildcats at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
After dropping their season opener at home, Ferndale is headed out to face a Bulldogs squad ready to give their home crowd a win. Fall River took a 34-20 bruising from Modoc on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Ferndale had already won six in a row dating back to last season (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 20.8 points), and they went ahead and made it seven on Saturday. They blew past the Timberwolves 39-12 at home.
Ferndale's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Tanner Pidgeon. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 96-yard run.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Ferndale was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 407 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 187 rushing yards in seven consecutive matches dating back to last season.
Fall River didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Ferndale in their previous meeting back in August of 2023, but they still walked away with a 20-14 win. Does Fall River have another victory up their sleeve, or will Ferndale turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
