This Friday at 7:30 PM, Kilgore (6-2) is pitted against Center (2-7). Center will be looking to take advantage of a struggling Kilgore defense that has allowed an average of 32 points per game.
Two weeks ago, Kilgore took on Henderson. Kilgore got first blood with a 30-yard rushing touchdown in its first drive, but Henderson was able to respond with 21 first-half points. That left Kilgore at a 21 - 17 disadvantage. The offense took control in the second half, however, scoring 28 points. That ultimately gave them a 45 - 35 win.
As for Center, the national rankings speculated that it might be blown out two weeks ago, and the rankings were right on the money. It suffered a grim 42 - 12 defeat to Carthage two weeks ago. However, freshman Marques Hall didn't go down without a fight as he earned two touchdowns and 62 yards rushing the ball. Hall has now scored at least one TD in the past five consecutive games.
We'll find out on Friday if Kilgore can snag another victory or if Center will turn things around for itself.
