Meanwhile, after soaring to 35 points the game before, Greenland was a bit more limited in their matchup on Friday. They were dealt a 42-7 loss at the hands of Booneville. The Pirates were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 42-0.

Hackett might still be hurting after the 34-12 defeat they got from Greenland in their previous matchup back in October of 2024. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of the Pirates' Slade Norwood, who threw for 325 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 12.5 yards per attempt. Now that the Hornets know the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
