The Fruitland Grizzlies will square off against the Emmett Huskies at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
Fruitland is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Saturday. They secured a 32-28 W over Kimberly. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Grizzlies as it put an end to their three-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Fruitland's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Titus Vidlak, who rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 187 yards and a touchdown.
Another reason for the win was Fruitland's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. In that department, Kelvin Obot was the leader with two. Quinn Hood was another major factor on D, making 19 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, Emmett took their match at home on Friday with ease, bagging a 34-6 victory over Canyon Ridge.
Emmett can attribute much of their success to Ryder Scheibe, who rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, and also threw for 173 yards and a touchdown. Another player making a difference was Nessen Korell, who gained 50 total yards and two touchdowns.
Fruitland came up short against Emmett in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, falling 27-14. Thankfully for Fruitland, Isaac Brennan (who rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 57 receiving yards) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
