The Battle for the Hedgepath Trophy will happen Friday night at Lon Armstrong Stadium, as the Bulldogs make the short trip down 76 to face the Rebels. The Bulldogs come in off a dominating performance over Union County. The Bulldog defense held them to 48 yards of offense in the 1st half, and really limited anything Union did. The Rebels come in at 0-1 after losing to Swansea Friday night.

Newberry has won the last 12 matchups with the Rebels by an average margin of 28 ppg. The last MC win was in Phil Strickland’s first season in 2010. In the last 3 matchups, Newberry has outscored Mid Carolina 102-14.
