The Prairie Pirates are taking a road trip to face off against the Logos Knights at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
Prairie is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Idaho's top teams: Kamiah, who was ranked 11th in their home state at the time (Prairie was ranked tenth). Prairie walked away with a 50-38 victory over Kamiah on Friday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Pirates.
Meanwhile, Logos came tearing into Friday's game with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 45.3 points) and they left with even more momentum. They claimed a resounding 78-12 win over the Trojans on the road. Considering the Knights have won four contests by more than 39 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
A big part of Logos' victory came down to the chemistry between Seamus Wilson and his top target Dominic Porras. Wilson rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown while Porras rushed for 114 yards. The dominant performance gave Porras a new career-high in rushing yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Logos was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 255 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 219 rushing yards in three consecutive matchups.
Logos' defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged four passes before it was all said and done. It was truly a group effort as Wilson, Gideon Haney, Jonathan B. Grauke, and Grauke picked up one apiece.
Prairie's win was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 3-1. As for Logos, their victory bumped their record up to 4-1.
Prairie might still be hurting after the 66-40 defeat they got from Logos when the teams last played back in October of 2023. Thankfully for Prairie, Jack Driskill (who threw for 354 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 13.6 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries) won't be suiting up this time.
