The Forest Wildcats will challenge the South Sumter Raiders at 7:30 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 game.
Forest can't be to happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Friday. They came up short against North Marion, falling 27-7.
Even if they lost, Forest's defense still kept up the pressure with six sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Tyler Klein and Keyontae Davenport who racked up four sacks between them. Another thorn in North Marion's side was Nemo Flax, who picked up a sack, made six total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defended a pass.
Meanwhile, South Sumter came up short against Niceville on Friday and fell 35-28.
South Sumter's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Stanley Young, who gained 123 total yards and two touchdowns, and Ja?Kyrian Turner, who rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries.
South Sumter wouldn't let Niceville keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. South Sumter can thank Ismael Rodriguez and Rashad Johnson for forcing both of them. Malakhi Boone was another major factor on D, making 16 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Things could have been worse for Forest, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 48-29 loss to South Sumter in their previous meeting back in September of 2023. Thankfully for Forest, Jamare Dorsey (who rushed for 127 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
