That 42 point margin sets a new team best for the SkyHawks this season.

Friday's game might be decided on the ground. Elkhorn North has been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 185 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Skutt Catholic struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 170.8 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's contest turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Elkhorn North was able to grind out a solid victory over Skutt Catholic in their previous matchup back in October of 2024, winning 28-21. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Wolves since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
