Last meeting

The Bearcats and Discoverers met last season on Oct. 18, 2024, when Kearney handled Columbus 43-14. That game featured a two-quarter scoring outburst by Kearney (13 points in the first, 23 in the second) and provided the Bearcats the decisive win heading into the second half. The teams will look to flip the script or reinforce the trend when they meet again Friday.
