The Kankakee Valley Kougars aim to change the course of their season as they prepare to host the Highland Trojans on Friday, October 10, at 7 p.m. The team is seeking its first victory following a challenging start with a 0-7 record.
The Kougars are coming off a 56-14 loss at Lowell and are determined to improve their performance at home. They hope that familiar surroundings and strong preparation will ignite a turnaround. While the Trojans hold a 2-5 overall record, Kankakee Valley’s focus remains on fundamentals and ball security to keep the game competitive throughout all quarters.
Highland has faced difficulties in conference play, posting an 0-4 record in the Northwest Crossroads Conference. The Kougars’ defense is concentrating on containing Highland’s rushing attack, which has shown inconsistency this season. By minimizing mistakes and executing disciplined drives, Kankakee Valley believes it can seize opportunities and score points.
