The Hibriten Panthers will head out to face off against the Huss Huskies at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Hibriten is leaving town to face Huss after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Hibriten had to suffer through a 48-0 loss at the hands of Hickory. While losing is never fun, the Panthers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 170th, while the Red Tornadoes are ranked 13th).
Meanwhile, Huss had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat Draughn 44-0 on the road. The win was some much needed relief for the Huskies as it spelled an end to their four-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Hibriten came out on top in a nail-biter against Huss in their previous meeting back in August of 2023, sneaking past 22-19. The rematch might be a little tougher for Hibriten since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
