After two games on the road, Versailles is heading back home. They will welcome the Sherwood Marksmen at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Versailles' offense might be in the hot seat on Friday considering what happened against Boonville on Friday. They were outmatched by the Pirates on the road and fell 61-0. While losing is never fun, the Tigers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Missouri football rankings (they are ranked 267th, while the Pirates are ranked 107th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sherwood). They claimed a resounding 57-0 victory over Lone Jack/Kingsville at home. The result was nothing new for the Marksmen, who have now won three contests by 30 points or more so far this season.
Versailles' loss was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-8. As for Sherwood, the win got them back to even at 4-4.
Versailles came up short against Sherwood in their previous matchup back in October of 2023, falling 28-24. Thankfully for Versailles, Garhett Cardwell (who rushed for 285 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 78 yards and a touchdown while completing 85.7% of his passes) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
