Indiana State

Monongahela, PA

Ringgold was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their 12th straight defeat. They and the Indiana Little Indians were almost perfectly matched up, but the Ringgold Rams suffered a 14-13 loss. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Rams of the 28-13 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in September of 2019.

Port Allegany, PA

Port Allegany won the last time they faced Smethport, and things went their way on Friday too.

Given the Gators' advantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania football rankings (they are ranked 214th, while the Hubbers are ranked 516th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Murphysboro, IL

Murphysboro had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They fell just short of the Carbondale Terriers by a score of 36-33 on Friday.

Here we (could) go again.. After making a second landfall in South Carolina, Debby weakened to a tropical storm and now located close to Charlotte, North Carolina. Despite the downgrade, the storm remains a threat, bringing heavy rainfall and tornado watches across North Carolina. Tragically, Debby has claimed six lives, including two in Georgia.
