The Ross Rams will be defending their home-field for the first time for the first time when they go up against the Mt. Healthy Fighting Owls at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Ross is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They received a blow on Friday as they fell 28-14 to Wyoming. While losing is never fun, the Rams can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Ohio football rankings (they are ranked 388th, while the Cowboys are ranked 162nd).
Meanwhile, Mt. Healthy couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell just short of West Clermont by a score of 20-18 on Friday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest loss the Fighting Owls have suffered since September 8, 2023.
Ross suffered a grim 40-14 defeat to Mt. Healthy in their previous meeting back in August of 2023. Thankfully for Ross, Javier (Jayjay) Etheridge (who picked up 154 receiving yards and a touchdown) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
