Willamina is on a four-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), while Regis is on a three-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Willamina Bulldogs will take on the Regis Rams at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Last Thursday, Willamina took a serious blow against Gervais, falling 46-19.
Willamina's defeat came about despite a quality game from Jacob Hadley, who rushed for 83 yards and two touchdowns. Hadley is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last seven games he's played.
Meanwhile, everything came up roses for Regis on the road against Blanchet Catholic on Friday as the squad secured a 46-7 win. Fans of Regis have seen this all before: every one of the games they've played this season ended as a blowout.
Regis haved a senior duo take command as Noah Koenig gained 131 total yards and four touchdowns and Kollin Schumacher threw for 204 yards and four touchdowns. Koenig was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield for a catch that went for 61 yards.
Regis' win bumped their season record to 6-0 while Willamina's loss dropped theirs to 5-2.
Here's a few offensive stats to keep an eye on ahead of Friday' match: Willamina has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 250.3 rushing yards per game. It's a different story for Regis, though, as they've been averaging only 79.7 per game. How will Regis fare against such a dominant running game?
Willamina was taken down by Regis 44-9 in their previous matchup back in October of 2022. Will Willamina have more luck at home instead of on the road?
