Why this matters

Crossroads hosts Meridian in Malakoff to kick off a non‑league test for both programs. The Bobcats will look to build on last season’s win over the Yellowjackets; Crossroads defeated Meridian 36-14 in their most recent meeting on Sept. 6, 2024. That game’s quarter-by-quarter linescore: Crossroads 6, 8, 7, 15 — Meridian 7, 7, 0, 0. Expect Crossroads to try to control the line of scrimmage and force Meridian into mistakes, while Meridian will hunt for big plays to flip field position.
