This week, Cleveland Central (4-0) and Clarksdale (1-3) square off against each other on Friday at 7:00 PM. Cleveland Central has seen its point totals steadily rise over the past three games, a trend the team will no doubt hope to continue.
Last week, Cleveland Central took on Rosa Fort. Cleveland Central's offense came in ready to rumble, picking up 24 points in the first half. That put it at a 24 - 0 advantage. The offense continued to do well in the second half, scoring 20 points. In the end, Cleveland Central steamrollered its way to an easy 44 - 6 victory.
As for Clarksdale, the result of its previous contest was disheartening but, based on state rankings, not too surprising. It was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap last week as it fell 19 - 14 to South Panola. The loss came about despite the benefit of 105 receiving yards from senior Esaias Furdge. Furdge has been the ringleader for Clarksdale this season three times now.
We'll find out on Friday if Cleveland Central can make another tough defensive stand this week or if Clarksdale will push past it for the win.
