Calhoun is on a 13-game streak of home losses (dating back to last season), Webster County a five-game streak of away losses, but someone's luck is about to change. The Calhoun Red Devils will take on the Webster County Highlanders at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Calhoun comes in on a streak of failing to score more than eight points in their last four games, a trend the squad is of course eager to reverse.
Last Friday, Calhoun suffered a tough 30-8 defeat at the hands of South Harrison.
Meanwhile, Webster County pushed their score all the way to 36 on Friday, but even that wasn't enough to win. They took a serious blow against Wahama, falling 64-36. While losing is never fun, Webster County can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' West Virginia football rankings (they are ranked 91st, while Wahama is ranked 29th).
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Eli Amos, who rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown. Amos really tore up the turf during one magnificent 93-yard run. Isaac Snyder was another key contributor, throwing for 160 yards and three touchdowns.
The losses dropped Calhoun to 0-8 and Webster County to 2-6.
Calhoun couldn't quite finish off Webster County when the teams last played back in September of 2019 and fell 47-44. Will Calhoun have more luck at home instead of on the road?
