Grove City is on a three-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), while Fairview is on a three-game streak of away wins (also dating back to last season): one of those streaks is about to end. The Grove City Eagles will welcome the Fairview Tigers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams are strolling into their matches after big wins in their previous games.
Grove City is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against North East. Grove City never let North East onto the board and left with a 21-0 victory on Friday. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania football rankings (they are ranked 155th, while the Grape Pickers are ranked 326th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Fairview blew past Slippery Rock, posting a 35-0 win at home.
This one was won in the trenches and the lion's share of the credit has to go to Joey Oreilly and he. Oreilly rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries while he rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Fairview was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 278 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
Grove City strolled past Fairview in their previous matchup back in November of 2022 by a score of 35-21. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Fairview's Tyler Corbin, who rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 100 yards and a touchdown. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Grove City to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
