Why this one matters

This nonleague matchup pits the New Site Royals against the New Albany Bulldogs in what figures to be a local test of depth and toughness. The teams last met on Nov. 5, 2024, when New Site posted a 44-31 win over New Albany — a recent result the Bulldogs will be looking to avenge.
