Why this one matters

This early-season nonleague game is an opportunity for both teams to set a tone as they begin the 2026 campaign. The programs haven’t met in a few seasons — their most recent meeting came Jan. 5, 2021 — so there’s some local intrigue as the Bearcats travel to Gautier. Records are blank at kickoff, meaning this matchup could provide momentum for either side.
