The Middleton Tigers will take on the Strawberry Crest Chargers at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Middleton is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Friday. They walked away with a 35-28 win over Leto.
Aljavonnie T Daymon had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 124 yards and four touchdowns. The team also got some help courtesy of Jovaughn Dock, who rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown.
Dock wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Middleton was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 261 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Leto only rushed for 64.
Meanwhile, Strawberry Crest had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They came out on top against East Bay by a score of 24-14 on Friday. The victory was a breath of fresh air for the Chargers as it put an end to their four-game losing streak dating back to last season.
The critical scores for Strawberry Crest came from Calvin Francis, Brice Schmidt, and Cam Crowe.
One reason for the win was Strawberry Crest's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Jace Eldridge was especially locked on to East Bay's QB and sacked him twice. Another thorn in East Bay's side was Jake Curtin, who made 12 total tackles (3.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
Middleton came up short against Strawberry Crest in their previous matchup back in October of 2023, falling 20-7. Can Middleton avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
