White River is 2-8 against Fife since September of 2014 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Thursday. The White River Hornets will hit the road for the first time this season to challenge the Fife Trojans at 7:00 p.m. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
White River is headed out to face Fife after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. White River claimed a resounding 50-18 victory over Jefferson at home.
Meanwhile, Fife had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They took their contest on the road on Friday with ease, bagging a 48-7 win over Hockinson. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Trojans just coasted through the last quarter.
Fife got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Slavik Shemedyuk out in front who picked up 127 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 46 yards. Shemedyuk got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 80 yards. Another signal caller making a difference was Mattson Ducharme, who threw for 224 yards and three touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Fife was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 413 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
White River was able to grind out a solid win over Fife in their previous matchup back in October of 2023, winning 21-14. The rematch might be a little tougher for White River since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
