The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. This Saturday Norfolk Christian (8-1) takes on Covenant (8-1) in the first playoff game of the year. Norfolk Christian has been tearing up the end zone with big points in its last seven contests.
Last week, Norfolk Christian took on Isle of Wight Academy. Norfolk Christian's offense came in ready to rumble, picking up 28 points in the first half. That put it at a 28 - 14 advantage. The offense continued to do well in the second half, scoring 27 points. In the end, Norfolk Christian steamrollered its way to an easy 55 - 14 victory.
Meanwhile, Covenant has netted another blowout to add to its collection (now totaling four) after its most recent game. Everything went its way against Randolph-Macon Academy last week as it secured a 57 - 20 win.
Covenant and Norfolk Christian will be experiencing extra pressure in this one since they are each in the midst of a winning streak (Covenant with five wins, Norfolk Christian with seven). We'll see which team can handle the heat this Friday.
