The Reagan Rattlers will head out on the road to take on the Johnson Jaguars at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
On Friday, Reagan didn't have too much trouble with Madison as they won 29-13. The Rattlers haven't had any issues with the Mavericks recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive victory against them.
Edwin Bridges went supernova, rushing for 194 yards on only 15 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 68 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Johnson). They blew past SA Roosevelt, posting a 48-13 win. The result was nothing new for the Jaguars, who have now won three contests by 28 points or more so far this season.
Johnson's win came from a few key players Reagan will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Elvis Estrada, who threw for 386 yards and four touchdowns while completing 76.2% of his passes. Those 386 passing yards gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Justus Jeffery, who picked up 152 receiving yards and a pair of TDs.
One reason for the win was Johnson's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Jaydon Bell was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two himself.
Reagan's record is now 2-3. As for Johnson, their record now sits at 5-0.
Things could have been worse for Reagan, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 21-3 loss to Johnson when the teams last played back in October of 2024. Thankfully for the Rattlers, Lorenn 'Bubba' Johnson (who rushed for 259 yards and two scores while picking up 10.0 yards per carry) won't be suiting up this time.
