Two dominant backs in B.J. Brown and Jaheim Campbell are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Richton Rebels will face off against the Stringer Red Devils at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
On Friday, Richton came up short against Lumberton and fell 19-6. The game marked the Rebels' lowest-scoring matchup so far this season.
Richton didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Zabreylan McSwain and Devontaivian Tucker. Another thorn in Lumberton's side was Oj Reed, who made 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, after only 12 points in their last contest, Stringer made sure to put some points up on the board against Wayne Academy on Friday. The Red Devils came out on top against the Jaguars by a score of 38-30. The Red Devils pushed the score to 38-14 by the end of the third, a deficit the Jaguars cut but never quite recovered from.
Richton better keep an eye on Kyler Gavin. He was instrumental in Stringer's win, rushing for 131 yards on only eight carries. Gavin's longest rush was for an impressive 67 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Stringer was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 302 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 153 rushing yards in 16 consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
Stringer is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 36.0 points over those games. As for Richton, their loss dropped their record down to 4-3.
Friday's contest might be decided on the ground. Richton has been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 191.4 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Stringer struggles in that department as they've been averaging 309.6 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's matchup turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Richton was dealt a bruising 46-7 defeat at the hands of Stringer in their previous matchup back in November of 2020. Thankfully for the Rebels, Jackson Parker (who threw for 126 yards and a pair of TDs, and also punched in two rushing scores) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
