Thursday's contest might be decided on the ground. Interlake has been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 150.3 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Foster struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 221.6 rushing yards. There's a good chance Thursday's game turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Interlake beat Foster 15-7 in their previous matchup back in October of 2024. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Bulldogs' Joey Marshall, who rushed for 173 yards and one TD while picking up 10.8 yards per carry. Now that he won't be playing on Thursday, will it be easier for the Saints to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
