The Milby Buffs will head out to challenge the Madison Marlins at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Milby took a loss when they played away from home two weeks ago, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. They managed a 33-27 victory over Austin. The Buffs haven't had any issues with the Mustangs recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive win against them.
A big part of Milby's victory came down to the chemistry between Gabriel Gutierrez and his top target Artavion Davis. Gutierrez threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns while Davis picked up 127 receiving yards and a pair of TDs.
For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Madison and Sterling meet (four straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Saturday. The Marlins took down the Raiders 35-20.
On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Madison's defense and their six sacks. That dominant display was truly a team effort as six different players picked up one apiece. Another thorn in Sterling's side was Nathaniel Salas, who made 16 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Madison's win bumped their record up to 5-1. As for Milby, they picked up their first home victory, bumping their record up to 3-4.
Milby was able to grind out a solid win over Madison in their previous meeting back in October of 2024, winning 21-14. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Buffs since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
