The Forest Bearcats will head out on the road to take on the Union Yellowjackets at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Forest will be coming into the contest with an undefeated record on the line.
Forest's defense heads into the matchup hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Friday. They came out on top against Mendenhall by a score of 13-0. The 13-point effort marked the Bearcats' lowest-scoring match of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
One reason for the win was Forest's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks. Mendenhall's QB won't forget Latrell Pace anytime soon given he sacked him twice. Pace is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made ten or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season. Gregory Keeton was another major factor on D, picking up a sack and making eight total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Union). They walked away with a 35-28 victory over Eupora on Friday.
Forest's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-0. As for Union, their victory bumped their record up to 2-4.
Forest strolled past Union in their previous matchup back in October of 2023 by a score of 28-14. The rematch might be a little tougher for Forest since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
