Huntingdon Looks to Extend Winning Streak Against Somerset in Conference Showdown

For Somerset, Colt Hagans has carried much of the offensive load with 26 rushing yards per game, 174 passing yards per game, and 200 total yards per game.
Recent Form and Matchup Outlook
Huntingdon’s early-season success comes largely from strong defensive discipline and balanced offensive contributions. Somerset will need to shore up its defense and generate more consistent offense to challenge Huntingdon on their home turf. The teams have not faced each other this season, but Huntingdon’s early-season efficiency, combined with home-field advantage, gives them a clear edge heading into the game.
With both teams looking to establish themselves in conference play, Friday’s showdown promises competitive action and a glimpse into the emerging storylines of the 2025 season.
