The Fayetteville Tigers will face off against the Moore County Raiders at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
After dropping their season opener at home, Moore County is headed out to face a Tigers squad ready to give their home crowd a win. Fayetteville was beaten by Upperman 48-6 on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Tigers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Tennessee football rankings (they are ranked 145th, while the Bees are ranked 32nd).
Meanwhile, Moore County made easy work of Cascade on Friday and carried off a 33-7 victory.
Moore County got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Gavin Wise out in front who rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 172 yards and a touchdown on only 16 passes. Isaac Petty was Wise's top target, rushing for 107 yards and a touchdown, while also picking up 40 receiving yards.
Petty wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Moore County was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 249 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in October of 2023.
Fayetteville might still be hurting after the 34-14 defeat they got from Moore County in their previous meeting back in August of 2023. Thankfully for Fayetteville, Dawson White (who rushed for 142 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 109 yards and a touchdown while completing 77.8% 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.
