The University Titans are taking a road trip to challenge the Pine Ridge Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. University will be strutting in after a victory while Pine Ridge will be coming in after a loss.
University will head into Friday's matchup hoping to keep the good times rolling: they only won by three when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 29-point they dealt North Miami on Friday. University claimed a resounding 49-20 win over North Miami at home. Given the Titans' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 43rd, while the Pioneers are ranked 250th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Anthony May had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 193 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also picked up 34 receiving yards and two touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 63 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Jabailey Morris also helped out as he racked up 108 rushing yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, University was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 472 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
University wouldn't let North Miami keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. University can thank Dominic Maultsby and Antonio Browning for forcing both of them. Browning didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made four total tackles.
Meanwhile, Pine Ridge couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They were dealt a 49-14 defeat at the hands of St. Cloud on Friday. The Panthers' loss continues a trend for the team, making it seven in a row dating back to last season.
Everything came up roses for University against Pine Ridge in their previous matchup back in September of 2022 as the squad secured a 49-0 victory. Will University repeat their success, or does Pine Ridge have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
