Hamilton won the last time they faced Desert Ridge, and things went their way on Thursday too. The Hamilton Huskies took down the Desert Ridge Jaguars 35-21. Given the Huskies' advantage in MaxPreps' Arizona football rankings (they are ranked second, while the Jaguars are ranked 38th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Fairbury, IL

Prairie Central and Pontiac are an even 5-5 against one another since September of 2014, but not for long. The Prairie Central Hawks will face off against the Pontiac Indians at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

Wiley kicked off their season on the road on Friday and hit a couple of potholes. They fell 40-32 to the Miami-Yoder Buffaloes. The Panthers just can't catch a break and have now endured eight defeats in a row dating back to last season. Even though they lost, Wiley was...

Fort Carson, CO

Felicity Thompson, Liberty's leading hitter, solidified her role on Saturday. Thompson was dialed in as he went 3-for-3 with a triple, two RBI, and a run. It looks like she has Fountain-Fort Carson's number considering she had a big game the last time she faced them, too. That triple was Thompson's first of the season.

Pettus, TX

Santa Rosa, TX

You can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Santa Rosa's strategy against Pettus on Thursday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that the Santa Rosa Warriors blew the Pettus Eagles out of the water with a 54-12 final score. With the Warriors ahead 32-6 at the half, the matchup was all but over already.

The matchup between Green Canyon and Sky View on Tuesday hardly resembled the 1-0 effort from their previous meeting. The Green Canyon Wolves put the hurt on the Sky View Bobcats with a sharp 7-1 victory. It was an even better day for Kyleigh Hastings as she scored three goals for her team.

One moose and more than 50 cattle have died of anthrax in the past month in south-central Wyoming, officials confirmed Wednesday. Anthrax occurs naturally in soil but has not been documented in Wyoming in livestock since the 1970s and in wildlife since 1956. No humans have been infected, according to the Wyoming Department of Health.

Yuma, AZ

Catalina Foothills couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell 28-21 to the Combs Coyotes on Thursday. The contest was a 14-14 toss-up at halftime, but the Falcons couldn't quite close it out. Several Falcons players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps...

Marek Dvorak was dynamite on Thursday, rushing for 159 yards and a touchdown. His also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making four total tackles. Dvorak and West Holt will host Central Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. West Holt closed last season having...

Del Mar, CA

Mt. Pleasant was not able to break out of their rough patch on Thursday as the team picked up their ninth straight loss. They received a blow as they fell 21-6 to the Del Mar Dons. The Cardinals were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Dons apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in October of 2022.

Collierville won the last time they faced Beech, and things went their way on Friday too. The Collierville Dragons skirted past the Beech Buccaneers 12-10. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Dragons. One reason for the win was Collierville's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield...

Goshen, IN

Plymouth, IN

After three games on the road, Goshen is heading back home. They will welcome the Plymouth Pilgrims/Rockies at 7:45 p.m. on Thursday. Goshen is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering Northridge just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Saturday. They fell just short of the Raiders by a score of 2-1. The loss was the RedHawks' first of the season.
