Why this one matters

These two met last season on Dec. 13, 2024, when Forest handed Pelahatchie a 45-25 loss. Friday’s meeting is an early nonleague test for both programs as they look to build momentum heading into district play. Pelahatchie returns to action later this month at home against Crystal Springs (Dec. 16); Forest’s next scheduled game on SBLive is at Morton (Jan. 9).
