The Magnolia Blue Eagles will challenge the Valley Lumberjacks at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Last Friday, Magnolia didn't have too much trouble with Ravenswood as they won 30-14.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Valley). They blew past Calhoun, posting a 63-21 win. The result was nothing new for the Lumberjacks, who have now won four matches by 26 points or more so far this season.
Magnolia's victory ended a four-game drought on the road and puts them at 2-6. As for Valley, they pushed their record up to 6-1 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home.
Magnolia beat Valley 40-30 in their previous meeting back in October of 2023. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Valley's Gavin Derby, who rushed for 178 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, and also threw for 187 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 passes. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will Magnolia still be able to contain Derby? There's only one way to find out.
