The Bluefield Beavers will be defending their home-field for the first timethey go up against the Princeton Tigers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Bluefield is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They took a 10-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of Graham on Friday. The Beavers have struggled against the G-Men recently, as their game on Friday was their fourth consecutive lost matchup.
Meanwhile, Princeton took care of business in their home opener on Thursday (and then some). They blew past Capital 41-12 at home. Given the Tigers' advantage in MaxPreps' West Virginia football rankings (they are ranked fourth, while the Cougars are ranked 42nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Marquel Lowe had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 114 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries. Another player making a difference was Chance Barker, who threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns.
Princeton's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB three times. Daniel Jennings was especially locked on to Capital's QB and sacked him twice. Jennings also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up two sacks and making three total tackles.
Bluefield might still be hurting after the 27-6 loss they got from Princeton in their previous matchup back in September of 2023. Will Bluefield have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other football content.
