The Phillips Wildcats will head out on the road to face off against the Rich Township Raptors at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many points in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
Phillips can't be to happy about their upcoming road game considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Friday. They took a blow against Brother Rice, falling 50-0. While losing is never fun, the Wildcats can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Illinois football rankings (they are ranked 245th, while the Crusaders are ranked 19th).
Meanwhile, Rich Township couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They lost 25-0 to Marian Catholic on Friday.
Phillips strolled past Rich Township in their previous meeting back in September of 2023 by a score of 32-15. The rematch might be a little tougher for Phillips since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
