The Shenango Wildcats will hit the road for the first time this season to take on the Northgate Flames at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Shenango is leaving town to face Northgate after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Shenango fell just short of New Brighton by a score of 9-7 back in August.
Meanwhile, Northgate was not the first on the board last Saturday, but they got there more often. They took their game on the road with ease, bagging a 39-7 victory over New Brighton. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Flames.
Darius Fields was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 109 yards and three touchdowns. Northgate also got help from Anthony Barron Jr., who showed off his sure hands for 90 receiving yards.
Northgate's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB four times. Kaden Stiger was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two sackshimself. The dominant performance gave him a new career- in total yards.
Shenango came up short against Northgate in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, falling 20-13. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Fields, who rushed for 158 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.9 yards per carry. Now that Shenango knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
