The DuBois Beavers will take on the Brockway Rovers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Hopefully DuBois focused on turnovers this week as the team gave up four on Friday.
DuBois is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering St. Marys just ended the team's six-game winning streak on Friday. They took a 27-14 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Flying Dutch. While the Beavers didn't get the win, they did start the game off strong, beating the Flying Dutch 7-0 in the first quarter.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Brockway). Everything went their way against Union/Allegheny-Clarion Valley on Thursday as Brockway made off with a 41-20 victory. Considering the Rovers have won three matches by more than 20 points this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Blake Pisarcik was his usual excellent self, rushing for 152 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry, and also picking up 38 receiving yards and a touchdown. Those 152 rushing yards gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Aiden Patton, who threw for 194 yards and three touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Brockway was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 250 rushing yards. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 70.2 rushing yards per game earlier this season, but in their last four games they've averaged 151.8.
DuBois' loss dropped their record down to 6-2. As for Brockway, they have been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-3 record this season.
We should be in store for an exciting game as both have no problem gaining yardage. DuBois has been on an offensive roll this season, having averaged 393.9 total yards per game. However, it's not like Brockway struggles in that department as they've been averaging 353.8. With a pair of commanding offenses duking it out, the defenses are going to have their work cut out for them.
DuBois and Brockway were neck-and-neck in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, but DuBois came up empty-handed after a 14-13 defeat. Can DuBois avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
