The Clarke County Eagles will head out on the road to square off against the King William Cavaliers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. King William took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Clarke County, who comes in off a win.
While Eagles fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Thursday's season opener. They simply couldn't be stopped on Thursday as they easily beat Rock Ridge 55-9 on the road. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Virginia football rankings (they are ranked 101st, while the Phoenix are ranked 269th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, King William couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They lost 41-20 to Stuarts Draft on Friday. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Cavaliers have suffered since September 8, 2023.
Everything came up roses for Clarke County against King William when the teams last played back in September of 2023 as the squad secured a 34-6 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Clarke County since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
