The Holmes Huskies will square off against the MacArthur Brahmas at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Holmes can't be to happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Saturday. They were outmatched by Jay on the road and fell 53-21. The Huskies just can't catch a break and have now endured nine losses in a row dating back to last season.
Holmes' defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Jayden Hopkins, who rushed for 185 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, and Christopher Geller, who rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns.
Hopkins wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Holmes was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 288 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
Meanwhile, MacArthur had to endure a nine-game losing streak dating back to last season, but that streak is no more. They blew past LEE 26-2 on Saturday. The Brahmas' offense checked out after the first half but had enough points banked to take the game anyway.
Holmes beat MacArthur 49-42 in their previous matchup back in August of 2023. The rematch might be a little tougher for Holmes since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
