Friday's matchup might be decided on the ground. Asotin has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 204.3 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Freeman struggles in that department as they've been averaging 163.7 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's contest turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Asotin skirted past Freeman 21-18 in their previous meeting back in September of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Panthers since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
