The Ranger Bulldogs will hit the road for the first time this season to take on the Woodson Cowboys at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Ranger is leaving town to face Woodson after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Ranger was dealt a 72-27 loss at the hands of Walnut Springs on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Woodson had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They blew past Harrold, posting a 66-33 win on the road.
Britton Bellah was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 126 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries. Carson Bellah did his part to keep the secondary busy, picking up 91 receiving yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Woodson was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 281 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in August of 2023.
Woodson's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. Bellah picked up that interception and then proceeded to rub salt in the wound by taking it back the other way for a touchdown.
Ranger strolled past Woodson in their previous matchup back in September of 2023 by a score of 59-41. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Woodson's Austin (Priddy) #21, who rushed for 189 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.1 yards per carry, and also threw for 71 yards and two touchdowns while completing 100% of his passes. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Ranger to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
