The Burlington Cougars are headed away from home for the first time to square off against the Goodland Cowboys at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Goodland took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on Burlington, who comes in off a win.
Burlington is headed out to face Goodland after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Burlington blew past Platte Valley 34-10 back in August. The win was some much needed relief for the Cougars as it spelled an end to their six-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Goodland had to start their season on the road on Friday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They were beaten by Wray 56-21. While losing is never fun, the Cowboys can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 132nd in Kansas, while the Eagles are ranked 34th in Colorado).
Burlington was able to grind out a solid victory over Goodland in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, winning 42-31. The rematch might be a little tougher for Burlington since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
