Istrouma is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 24-11 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 29.1 points over those games. E.D. White's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 24-4.
E.D. White took their win against Istrouma in their previous meeting back in December of 2022 by a conclusive 52-28.
