The Asheville Cougars are packing up and heading out on the road for their first away game this season. they challenge the Providence Day Chargers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Providence Day took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on Asheville, who comes in off a win.
Asheville is headed out to face Providence Day after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Asheville simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat Tuscola 42-6 at home. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Cougars just coasted through the last quarter.
Josh Ellis had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 195 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also caught a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 78-yard run. Meek Slydell was another key player, throwing for 68 yards and two touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Asheville was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 470 total yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Tuscola only gained 202.
Asheville wouldn't let Tuscola keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Asheville can thank Kareem Williams and Hayes Hillier for forcing both of them.
Meanwhile, Providence Day faced Weddington in a battle between two of the state's top teams on Thursday. Providence Day fell to Weddington 13-7. Having soared to a lofty 55 points in the game before, the Chargers couldn't push the score so high this time.
Asheville was dealt a bruising 47-7 loss at the hands of Providence Day in their previous meeting back in August of 2023. Thankfully for Asheville, Jadyn Davis (who threw for 250 yards and three touchdowns while completing 84.2% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
