The Swansboro Pirates will be playing at home against the White Oak Vikings at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The timing isn't great for Swansboro: they have been struggling with 12 straight losses at home dating back to last season, while White Oak has snatched up seven consecutive wins on the road.
It's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 49-21, which was the final score in Swansboro's tilt against West Carteret on Monday. Swansboro was down 35-14 at the end of the third quarter, and things only got worse from there.
Swansboro's loss came about despite a quality game from Amare Caines, who rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, White Oak beat Richlands 33-20 on Friday.
White Oak's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Tareavion Mageo #4 led the charge by rushing for 110 yards and a touchdown. Joshua Smith was another key contributor, throwing for 102 yards and a touchdown on only eight passes.
West Carteret's win bumped their season record to 5-4 while Swansboro's defeat dropped theirs to 0-9.
Swansboro took a serious blow against White Oak in their previous meeting back in September, falling 43-0. Will Swansboro have more luck at home instead of on the road?
