The Yorktown Wildcats open district play this week after two weeks off, first with a canceled matchup against Bruni which moved to six-man football, followed by a scheduled bye.
The time off should leave Yorktown rested and ready as they face the Pettus Eagles (2-3) in a long-standing rivalry. The Wildcats lead the all-time series 2319-1, including a dominant 63-19 win in their 2024 meeting.
Yorktown will look to use its physicality and size to control the game on the ground. The runheavy offense is led by the backfield duo of Brody Metting and MacKenzie Yanta. Up front, the offensive line, featuring Gunnar Hughes, Manuel Macias, Colton Rogers, Cayden Mika, and Ryan Knostman, will aim to dominate the line of scrimmage and open up lanes for the ground game to thrive.
