The East Marion Eagles will venture away from home to face off against the Enterprise Yellowjackets at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both are strolling into their games after big wins in their previous games.
East Marion took a loss when they played away from home two weeks ago, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. They blew past Resurrection Catholic 36-0 at home. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest victory East Marion has posted since October 27, 2023.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Enterprise). They took their matchup on the road last Thursday with ease, bagging a 49-20 win over Salem. The result was nothing new for the Yellowjackets, who have now won three contests by 29 points or more so far this season.
It was another big night for Landon Mcnickles, who rushed for 218 yards and four touchdowns on only eight carries. His longest rush was for an incredible 85 yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Enterprise was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 326 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 202 rushing yards in five consecutive matches.
Enterprise didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Jacquez Yarborough, JD Abrams, and Payton Kyzar picked up one apiece. Yarborough is also on a roll when it comes to interceptions, as he's now snagged at least one in the last three games he's played.
East Marion's victory bumped their record up to 2-6. As for Enterprise, their win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-2.
East Marion was able to grind out a solid victory over Enterprise in their previous matchup back in October of 2023, winning 28-21. The rematch might be a little tougher for East Marion since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
