The Southeast Halifax Trojans will be defending their home-field for the first time for the first time when they go up against the Louisburg Warriors at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
Southeast Halifax is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They took a blow against Nash Central on Friday, falling 50-0. The defeat continues a trend for the Trojans in their matchups with the Bulldogs: they've now lost five in a row.
Meanwhile, Louisburg couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They had to suffer through a 35-6 loss at the hands of Person. The Warriors were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 22-0.
Louisburg wouldn't let Person keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force three fumbles. It was truly a group effort as Javon Green, Carlos Person, and Caiden Gasiewicz picked up one apiece.
Southeast Halifax strolled past Louisburg when the teams last played back in August of 2023 by a score of 40-22. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Louisburg's Donte' Strickland Jr, who threw for 270 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 43 yards and a touchdown. Now that he won't be playing on Thursday, will it be easier for Southeast Halifax to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
