The Corunna Cavaliers are on the road again on Friday to play the Armada Tigers at 7:00 p.m. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Corunna will head into Friday's contest hoping to keep the good times rolling: they proved they can win big last Friday (they won by 64) but on Friday they proved they can win the close ones too. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Linden , sneaking past 17-14.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Armada). They really took it to Imlay City for the full four quarters, racking up a 63-7 victory at home. With the Tigers ahead 56-7 at the half, the match was all but over already.
It was another big night for Jackson Malburg, who rushed for 167 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Zefi Gjelaj got in on the action as well, converting a pick into a touchdown.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Armada was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 316 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in October of 2023.
Armada didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Gjelaj and Logan Chunn.
Corunna's record now sits at 7-1. As for Armada, their record is now an identical 7-1.
Corunna took their win against Armada in their previous matchup back in October of 2023 by a conclusive 31-7. The rematch might be a little tougher for Corunna since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
