Suitland is on a five-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), while Flowers is on a three-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Rams will welcome the Jaguars at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few points on average (Suitland 10, Flowers 4.1) so any points scored will be well earned.
Suitland is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Wise just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Friday. They took a blow against the Pumas, falling 38-6. Having soared to a lofty 47 points in the game before, the Rams couldn't push the score so high this time.
Meanwhile, Flowers won against Oxon Hill two weeks ago with 35 points and they decided to stick to that point total again on Friday. The Jaguars blew past Potomac 35-7. Considering the Jaguars have won six matchups by more than 21 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Suitland better keep an eye on Kodi Gardner. He was instrumental in Flowers' win, rushing for 184 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.5 yards per carry. Those 184 rushing yards gave Gardner a new career-high.
One reason for the win was Flowers' imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for seven sacks. Leading the way was Tyger Williams with two. Flowers got some further help from Gabriel Amadi: he picked up a sack, forced two fumbles, and made four total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Suitland's loss was their first in the region, dropping their region record down to 2-1 and their overall record down to 6-2. As for Flowers, their win bumped their record up to 8-0.
Suitland was dealt a bruising 36-0 defeat at the hands of Flowers in their previous meeting back in October of 2022. Thankfully for the Rams, Sean Johnson (who rushed for 71 yards and one TD on only seven carries, and also caught one score) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
