The Miller Buccaneers will square off against the King Mustangs at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Miller is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 46 points per game this season.
Last Friday, Miller took their game at home with ease, bagging a 59-7 win over Carroll. The match was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 49-0.
Trevor Long continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, throwing for 310 yards and six touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. Eathan Vela did his part to keep the secondary busy, picking up 139 receiving yards.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Miller was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 220 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Carroll only rushed for 70.
Miller wouldn't let Carroll keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Miller can thank Christian Torres and Espn Cole for forcing both of them. Steven Richardson was another major factor on D, making nine total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, King ended up a good deal behind Ray on Friday and lost 25-7. The contest marked the Mustangs' lowest-scoring matchup so far this season.
Miller has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. As for King, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-5.
Everything came up roses for Miller against King in their previous matchup back in October of 2023, as the squad secured a 70-13 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Miller since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
