The Stall Warriors will look to defend their home field on Friday against the Ashley Ridge Swamp Foxes at 7:30 p.m. Stall comes in on a streak of failing to score more than ten points in their last five games, a trend the team is of course eager to reverse.

Meanwhile, Ashley Ridge pushed their score all the way to 38 on Friday, but even that wasn't enough to win. They fell to Summerville 42-38. It was the first time this season that Ashley Ridge let down their fans at home.

As for Ashley Ridge, their defeat dropped their record down to 7-2.
Stall was taken down by Ashley Ridge 63-12 when the teams last played back in October of 2022. Thankfully for Stall, Xavier Proctor-floyd (who threw for 248 yards and four touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
