Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, East Bernard should expect quite the challenge on Friday. They will go up against Newton in continuing playoff action. Each of these teams will be battling to keep a win streak alive as East Bernard skips in on ten wins and Newton on 13.
East Bernard won the last time they met up with Tidehaven, and they shouldn't regret having come to the reunion, either. East Bernard enjoyed a cozy 17-0 win over Tidehaven. No one put up better numbers for East Bernard than senior Destin Schuler, who brought his A game into the match. He rushed for 116 yards and 1 touchdown on 18 carries. That nimble footwork stands out as the first time Schuler has hit the 100-yard rushing mark this season.
Meanwhile, Newton earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last week. They put a hurting on Daingerfield to the tune of 79-12. For those of you keeping count, this is Newton's 11th stomp of the season.
Their wins bumped East Bernard to 13-1 and Newton to 13-0. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
