The West Rusk Raiders will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the Diboll Lumberjacks at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
West Rusk is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They were outmatched by Malakoff on the road and fell 49-0. The Raiders haven't had much luck with the Tigers recently, as the team's come up short the last three times they've met.
Meanwhile, Diboll was just a hair shy of victory on Friday and fell 28-27 to Madisonville. The Lumberjacks gained 70 more yards on the day, but it was the Mustangs that made the best use of them.
Although Diboll took the loss, they still got scores from Jamauri Gallien, Jaydan Miller, and Brayden Wilson.
Even though they lost, Diboll was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 218 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
