The Kimball Jaguars will head out on the road to face off against the West Wolfpack at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Kimball is leaving town to face West after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Kimball lost to East Union at home by a 28-14 margin on Friday.
Although Kimball took the loss, they still got scores from Dawson Pelech and Tobe Nwankwo.
Even if they lost, Kimball's defense still kept up the pressure with three sacks. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Jaylin Rodgers. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up three sacks and making six total tackles.
Meanwhile, West was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their seventh straight loss. They took a 26-20 hit to the loss column at the hands of Beyer.
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Christian Balderrama, who picked up 41 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 35 yards. Another back making a difference was Jamani Hampton, who rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries.
Everything came up roses for Kimball against West in their previous meeting back in September of 2023 as the team secured a 34-6 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Kimball since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
