RPAC Rundown Featured Matchup Preview: Cambridge @ Southern Valley
On Friday, October 9th, 2026, Southern Valley will host Cambridge for a Furnas County Rivalry game. Let's break down the matchup.
We begin with the Trojans. They come into this game with a record of five and one. They come off an impressive homecoming win against Blue Hill last week. They beat the Bobcats 44-22. The Trojans are a run-dominant team averaging 230 yards per game on the ground. Your quarterback, Braxton Mitchell, is a true dual threat. He has thrown for 420 yards, rushed for 541 yards, and has 20 offensive touchdowns.
ADVERTISEMENTS
One of Cambridge's go-to playmakers on offense is senior Roy Holscher. He has 251 rushing yards, 258 receiving yards, and 13 total touchdowns in 2026. One of the strengths for this Trojan team is their line play. Up front on offense, senior Ben Harris and junior Miles Stanton have been excellent. On defense, watch for players like sophomore Connor Long and senior Kaden Klumpe to make plays around the football.
This team has plenty of offensive options. Each week it seems like it's someone else making plays. Like last week, sophomore Cole Cobb rushed for over 100 yards and a touchdown for the Trojans.
Southern Valley comes into this game with a record of four and two after losing to Pleasanton last week. The Southern Valley Eagles are very balanced on offense. Throwing for about 112 yards per game and rushing for 276.5 yards per game. Sophomore Hunter Lans is the go-to running back for the Eagles. He has nearly 1,000 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns.
ADVERTISEMENTS
Sophomore quarterback Houston Hunt has over 650 passing yards and nine touchdowns. Senior Sully Bantam has 289 yards rushing and seven touchdowns this season. Senior Bennet Jorgensen, junior Jackson Fletcher, and sophomore Kyson Bose have played solid on the line.
This team has the potential to do great things on the field. They have shown that, and they will be looking to bounce back in a big rival rematch up against the Trojans.
