Why this one matters

These two met a year ago on Jan. 23, 2025, and the Panthers left Booneville with a 62-21 victory. Pine Grove opened the game with a blistering first half, leading 48-8 at the break (first-half lines: 23-25 for Pine Grove, 5-3 for Jumpertown). That decisive performance — and the memory of it around both programs — adds an extra edge to the rematch.
