Chesaning has been on the road for two straight, but on Friday they'll finally head home. They will host Carrollton/Saginaw at 7:00 p.m. Chesaning is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 37.3 points per game this season.
Chesaning's usually-dominant defense will be looking to make up for Friday's struggle, when Durand offense got past them. Chesaning came out on top in a nail-biter against Durand on Friday, sneaking past 39-36. Given the Indians' advantage in MaxPreps' Michigan football rankings (they are ranked 74th, while the Railroaders are ranked 240th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Chesaning to victory, but perhaps none more so than Brayden Florian, who rushed for 203 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry. Florian continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.
Chesaning's defensive line stepped up as well, laying out the QB four times. Durand's QB won't forget Landon Qualls anytime soon given he sacked him twice. Another thorn in Durand's side was Quinton Everett, who picked up a sack and made 15 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Chesaning was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 220 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 179 rushing yards in six consecutive contests.
