The Forbush Falcons will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the McMichael Phoenix at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Neither Forbush nor McMichael posted many points in their last games, so it might be the defenses that decide this one.
Forbush is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They lost 32-6 to North Forsyth on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Falcons can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 342nd, while the Vikings are ranked 166th).
Meanwhile, McMichael couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They took a 22-12 hit to the loss column at the hands of Rockingham County on Friday. The Phoenix haven't had much luck with the Cougars recently, as the team's come up short the last seven times they've met.
Things could have been worse for Forbush, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 44-28 loss to McMichael when the teams last played back in August of 2023. Thankfully for Forbush, Jay Moore (who rushed for 173 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
