The Monument Valley Cougars will take on the St. Joseph Jayhawks at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
While Cougars fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They claimed a resounding 51-10 victory over Varsity Opponent on the road.
Meanwhile, St. Joseph had to endure a three-game losing streak dating back to last season, but that streak is no more. They took their match on the road on Friday with ease, bagging a 41-8 win over Whitehorse.
Gunner Windsor had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 96 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 186 yards and two touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes.
St. Joseph wouldn't let Whitehorse keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force four fumbles. Jordan Coley led the group effort, picking up two of those forced fumbles all by himself. Jacob Scehnet was another major factor on D, picking up two sacks and making eight total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, St. Joseph was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 230 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 221 rushing yards in seven consecutive contests dating back to last season.
Monument Valley was taken down by St. Joseph 56-14 in their previous meeting back in September of 2023. Can Monument Valley avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
