After four games on the road, Frontier is heading back home. They will welcome the Tri-County Cavaliers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Frontier's defense heads into the matchup hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Friday. They blew past North Newton, posting a 53-0 victory on the road.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Tri-County). They breezed by Faith Christian at home to the tune of 56-0 on Friday. The win was familiar territory for the Cavaliers who have now won three games in a row.
Tri-County relied on the efforts of Jonathan Pearson, who rushed for 114 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and Ayden Justice, who rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown. Justice's longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Carter Mcmorrow was in the mix as well, providing Tri-County with a touchdown.
Tri-County wouldn't let Faith Christian keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force three fumbles. Ephraim Boles was the leader in that area as all came courtesy of his dominant performance. He is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Tri-County was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 306 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 246 rushing yards in three consecutive contests.
Frontier pushed their record up to 5-0 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season. As for Tri-County, their win bumped their record up to 4-2.
Frontier ended up a good deal behind Tri-County when the teams last played back in September of 2023, losing 38-21. Thankfully for Frontier, Koby Bahler (who rushed for 125 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 40 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.
