The Ferriday Trojans will face off against the Mangham Dragons at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Ferriday comes in on five and Mangham on four.
Last Friday, Ferriday made easy work of Beekman Charter and carried off a 32-6 victory. The result was nothing new for the Trojans, who have now won three games by 26 points or more so far this season.
Ferriday's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Caleb Ellis, who threw for 163 yards and four touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. Ellis is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mangham). They claimed a resounding 56-18 victory over Madison on the road. Given the Dragons' advantage in MaxPreps' Louisiana football rankings (they are ranked 131st, while the Jaguars are ranked 265th), the result last Friday wasn't entirely unexpected.
Ferriday pushed their record up to 5-0 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. As for Mangham, their record now sits at 4-1.
Things could have been worse for Ferriday, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 50-36 loss to Mangham in their previous meeting back in October of 2023. Can Ferriday avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
