The Southeast Pirates will face off against the Garfield G-Men at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Garfield is facing Southeast at the wrong time: Southeast suffered their first home loss of the season on Friday and they're likely out for redemption. They had to suffer through a 68-19 loss at the hands of the Rebels.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Garfield). They breezed by Champion on the road to the tune of 50-0 on Friday. The victory was nothing new for the G-Men as they're now sitting on three straight.
Garfield found their leader in underclassman Devin Bates, who rushed for 103 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries. The dominant performance gave Bates a new career-high in rushing yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Garfield was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 328 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 157 rushing yards in 18 consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
One reason for the win was Garfield's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for five sacks. Harper Troyer was especially locked on to Champion's QB and sacked him twice.
Southeast now has a losing record at 2-3. As for Garfield, their win bumped their record up to 4-1.
Southeast might still be hurting after the 27-7 defeat they got from Garfield in their previous matchup back in October of 2020. Thankfully for Southeast, Anthony Demma (who rushed for 155 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also picked up 50 receiving yards and a touchdown) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
