Deshler and Brooks are an even 4-4 against one another since October of 2015, but not for long. The Tigers will be playing in front of their home fans against the Lions at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both teams are coming into the matchup red-hot, with Deshler sitting on six straight wins and Brooks on four.
It was a proper cat-fight when Deshler took on Central on Friday. The Tigers really took it to the Wildcats for the full four quarters, racking up a 48-13 victory. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won four games by 35 points or more so far this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Brooks). They blew past Danville, posting a 65-0 win. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Brooks found their leader in sophomore Tanner Bowens, who rushed for 135 yards and one touchdown on only ten carries. Bowens' longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Ro Thompson was another key player, rushing for 53 yards and a pair of TDs.
Brooks was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 469 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 236 rushing yards in four consecutive contests.
Deshler's win bumped their record up to 6-0. As for Brooks, their victory bumped their record up to 4-2.
Deshler might still be hurting after the 44-21 loss they got from Brooks in their previous matchup back in October of 2024. Thankfully for the Tigers, Garrett Burrough (who rushed for 128 yards and three scores while picking up 8.0 yards per carry, and also threw for 186 yards and one touchdown while completing 77.3% 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.
