Friday’s matchup pits the Sullivan Eagles against the Northwest Lions in what should be a tight, physical nonconference test to kick off the 2025 slate. Kickoff is listed at 5 p.m. Pacific on the schedule feed; the game will be played locally in Missouri at 7 p.m. CDT.

Last meeting: a one-possession game
