Woodland hasn't had much luck against Ranburne recently, but that could start to change on Friday. The Woodland Bobcats will be defending their home-field for the first time for the first time when they go up against the Ranburne Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Woodland is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They had to suffer through a 34-6 loss at the hands of Randolph County. While losing is never fun, the Bobcats can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Alabama football rankings (they are ranked 324th, while the Tigers are ranked 155th).
Meanwhile, Ranburne couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell 43-36 to Mt. Zion on Friday. The game was a 28-28 toss-up at halftime, but the Bulldogs couldn't quite close it out.
Ranburne might have lost, but man, Curtis Daniel was a machine: he rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns. The team also got some help courtesy of Brody Morgan, who rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown.
Woodland might still be hurting after the 28-7 loss they got from Ranburne in their previous matchup back in September of 2023. Thankfully for Woodland, Kaide Garrett (who rushed for 65 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 156 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.
