Van Buren hits the road Friday for a Week 8 contest against winless Winfield-Mount Union.

It’ll be the best opportunity for a win since they earned one Week 5 against New London.

The Wolves (0-7, 0-5 Class A District 5), have struggled mightily out of the gates this season and most recently lost 48-14 to WACO.

Van Buren (1-6, 1-4), meanwhile, lost to Lone Tree 62-0 last Friday as Vaughn Helling gained 85 yards on 12 carries and Aaron Clemens completed three passes for 33 yards.

Of course, the Warriors earned their one win last season against the Wolves. In the 18-14 win for the Warriors, Van Buren amassed 269 yards total offense while holding Winfield to 193 yards offense.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Winfield.
