On Saturday, Yorkville are packing up and heading on the road for the first time this season. They face off against Centralia at 4:00 PM. Yorkville have the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency.
Yorkville was the big favorite in their most recent match, and for good reason. Everything went their way against Kankakee last Friday as they made off with a 40-6 win. The margin was wide but not a surprise since Yorkville are ranked far ahead of Kankakee in the MaxPreps rankings.
Meanwhile, Centralia couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They found themselves the relunctant recipients of an unpleasant 0-21 punch to the gut against Salem last week.
Yorkville's victory lifted them to 1-0 while Centralia's loss dropped them down to 0-1. We'll find out if Yorkville can add another positive mark to their record or if Centralia can shake off the loss and take the spring out of Yorkville's step.
