The McNary Celtics will head out on the road to face off against the Grants Pass Cavemen at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
McNary is leaving town to face Grants Pass after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. McNary was outmatched by South Medford at home and fell 28-0. The Celtics just can't catch a break and have now endured ten defeats in a row dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Grants Pass had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They took a 33-28 hit to the loss column at the hands of North Medford. The loss continues a trend for the Cavemen in their matchups with the Black Tornado: they've now lost seven in a row.
Although Grants Pass took the loss, they still got scores from Isaac Johnson, Weston Berg, and Treyton Powers.
Even if they lost, Grants Pass' defensive line still kept up the pressure with six sacks. In that department, Wyatt Peterson was the leader with two.
Everything came up roses for McNary against Grants Pass in their previous meeting back in September of 2021 as the team secured a 41-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for McNary since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
