The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. This Friday Montgomery Academy (8-2) takes on Bayside Academy (5-5) in the first playoff game of the year. Montgomery Academy has never lost back-to-back, and it wants to keep it that way.
Montgomery Academy went up against Alabama Christian Academy last week. The Montgomery Academy offense had a slow start and went into the break having scored three points. That left it at a 7 - 3 disadvantage. The defense added to the troubles, allowing 28 points in the second half. The final was a 35 - 18 defeat for Montgomery Academy.
Meanwhile, Bayside Academy was close but no cigar last week, losing to Carroll 20 - 17. The outcome was a definite jolt of excitement for Bayside Academy after its previous game, where the margin was anything but close.
We'll find out on Friday if Montgomery Academy can recover from its defensive difficulties last week or if Bayside Academy gives the team a hard time.
