The Gibbs Gladiators are taking a road trip to square off against the Booker Tornadoes at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The teams are rolling into the game with opposing streaks: Gibbs has struggled recently with seven losses in a row, while Booker will arrive with three straight wins.
Last Friday, Gibbs didn't have quite enough to beat Hollins and fell 15-13. That's two games in a row now that the Gladiators have lost by exactly two points.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Booker). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat DeSoto County 83-8. Considering the Tornadoes have won six contests by more than 26 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Gibbs' defeat dropped their record down to 1-8. As for Booker, their victory bumped their record up to 6-3.
Everything went Gibbs' way against Booker in their previous matchup back in October of 2020, as Gibbs made off with a 30-6 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Gibbs since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
