Americus-Sumter have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They will challenge Columbus on the road at 7:30 PM on Friday. Coming off of a loss in a game they were expected to win, Americus-Sumter now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.
After a big victory against Shaw three weeks ago, Americus-Sumter came back down to earth. Americus-Sumter fell just short of Hardaway by a score of 20-23. Americus-Sumter got a solid performance out of senior Montrellis Wilson, who caught passes for 115 yards and 2 touchdowns; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the win.
Meanwhile, Columbus came into their this week averaging 32.5 points per game, but Columbus fell well short of that average, and it cost them. They took a serious blow against Cairo last Friday, falling 7-46. Columbus were in a tough position by the half, with the score sitting at 0-30.
With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
