Pearl has been a homebody their last two games, but they are heading out on Friday. They will take on Brandon at 7 p.m. ET. The Pirates are favored to win according to their MaxPreps ranking but know they can't sleep on a powerful opponent.
Pearl found themselves the reluctant recipients of a vexing 31-7 punch to the gut against Oak Grove last week. Pearl was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 28 to nothing.
Meanwhile, everything came up roses for Brandon against Northwest Rankin as the team secured a 42-7 win. Will Rogers had a stellar game for Brandon as he passed for 255 yards and five TDs. If you haven't heard Rogers' name lately, then you haven't been paying much attention: he has loomed large in Brandon's past seven games.
Brandon's defense was a presence as well, and it made life painful for the QB and got past Northwest Rankin's offensive line for a total of five sacks. Leading the way was Zihenryon Perry and his two sacks.
When the two teams last met in November of last year, Pearl and Brandon were almost perfectly matched up, but Pearl suffered an agonizing 34-33 loss. Can Pearl avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
