Bob Jones have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They and Hoover go head to head on Friday at 7:00 PM in their first playoff match of the year. Bob Jones are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it the size of the fight that determines this one.
Bob Jones had enough points to win and then some against Huntsville two weeks ago, taking their game 21-3. The Bob Jones offense checked out after the first half but had enough points banked to take the matchup anyway.
Meanwhile, Hoover and IMG Academy -- ranked 57th and fourth in the MaxPreps national rankings, respectively -- squared off last Friday in a high-profile contest. Hoover were dealt a punishing 7-48 defeat at the hands of IMG Academy. The lax defense was uncharacteristic for Hoover, who until this contest were averaging points allowed.
Bob Jones's win lifted them to 6-4 while Hoover's loss dropped them down to 7-3. Junior Khalil Griffin will be someone to keep an eye on after he rushed for 101 yards and 2 touchdowns on 14 carries two weeks ago. Let see if he can build on that strong performance or if Hoover's defense can bottle him up.
