The Prairie Pirates will head out on the road to challenge the Logos Knights at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: both posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
Prairie is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Idaho's top teams: Kamiah, who was ranked 11th in their home state at the time (Prairie was ranked tenth). Prairie walked away with a 50-38 victory over Kamiah on Friday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Pirates.
Meanwhile, Logos had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 45.3 points) and they went ahead and made it four on Friday. They took their game on the road with ease, bagging a 78-12 win over the Trojans. Given the Knights' advantage in MaxPreps' Idaho football rankings (they are ranked fourth, while the Trojans are ranked 31st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
A big part of Logos' victory came down to the chemistry between Seamus Wilson and his top target Dominic Porras. Wilson rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown while Porras rushed for 114 yards. The dominant performance gave Porras a new career-high in rushing yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Logos was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 255 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 219 rushing yards in three consecutive matches.
Logos' defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged four passes before it was all said and done. It was truly a group effort as Wilson, Gideon Haney, Jonathan B. Grauke, and Grauke picked up one apiece.
Prairie pushed their record up to 3-1 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. As for Logos, their victory bumped their record up to 4-1.
Prairie suffered a grim 66-40 defeat to Logos in their previous matchup back in October of 2023. Thankfully for Prairie, Jack Driskill (who threw for 354 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 13.6 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
