The Prescott Badgers will head out on the road to face off against the Thunderbird Titans at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.

Prescott can attribute much of their success to Uriah Tenette, who threw for 198 yards and two touchdowns on only eight passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Johann Gundermann did his part to keep the secondary busy, picking up 89 receiving yards.
Meanwhile, Thunderbird had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They never let Moon Valley onto the board and left with a 34-0 victory on Friday. Given the Titans' advantage in MaxPreps' Arizona football rankings (they are ranked 35th, while the Rockets are ranked 104th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Prescott might still be hurting after the 50-30 defeat they got from Thunderbird in their previous meeting back in September of 2023.
