Newcastle have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. Aquilla and Newcastle go head to head on Friday at 7:30 PM in their first playoff matchup of the year. Newcastle know how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past seven matchups -- so hopefully Aquilla like a good challenge.
Last Friday, Aquilla put the finishing touches on their fourth blowout victory of the season. They put a hurting on Abbott to the tune of 46-0. The Aquilla offense checked out after the first half but had enough points banked to take the match anyway.
Meanwhile, don't be fooled by the insanely high score: we promise Newcastle and Saint Jo were playing football. Newcastle were able to grind out a solid victory over Saint Jo two weeks ago, winning 72-60.
Their wins bumped Aquilla to 5-5 and Newcastle to 7-2. Given their high-scoring efforts against their previous opponents, it will be interesting to see how far up these teams can run up the score.
