After two games on the road, Tocoi Creek is heading back home. They will host the Nease Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Last Friday, Tocoi Creek lost to Menendez on the road by a 32-16 margin.
The match pitted two dominant backs against one another in Vincent Galella and Mason Lynch. Lynch had a great game and rushed for 139 yards and three touchdowns. Meanwhile, Galella did his best for the losing side, rushing for 72 yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, Nease put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their perfect season alive. They claimed a resounding 44-12 victory over Atlantic Coast at home. The result was nothing new for the Panthers, who have now won three games by 32 points or more so far this season.
Nease had a senior duo take command as Kj Perry rushed for 143 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries and Nate Harry rushed for 56 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries. That's the most rushing yards Perry has posted since back in October of 2023.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Nease was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 216 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
Nease didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Elisha Luckett III. Another thorn in Atlantic Coast's side was Noah Hodge, who picked up a sack and made six total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Tocoi Creek's loss dropped their record down to 4-4. As for Nease, their win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-0.
Tocoi Creek might still be hurting after the 47-27 defeat they got from Nease when the teams last played back in November of 2023. Thankfully for Tocoi Creek, Cam Smith (who rushed for 100 yards and four touchdowns, and also picked up 57 receiving yards and a touchdown) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
