Cardinal Newman (2 - 4) and Heathwood Hall Episcopal (1 - 5) are set to face off this Friday at 7:30 PM. Both teams have had a rocky road up to this point (Cardinal Newman has lost four in a row, Heathwood Hall Episcopal five), but at least one team's bad luck is about to end.
Last week, Cardinal Newman took on Pinewood Prep. Cardinal Newman's defense took a beating in the first half, giving up 28 points. That put it down 28 - 0. The defense unfortunately couldn't turn things around in the second half and allowed another 21 points. The final was a 49 - 19 loss for Cardinal Newman.
Meanwhile, victory was within reach last week, but Heathwood Hall Episcopal ultimately lost 6 - 2 to Wilson Hall.
Both Heathwood Hall Episcopal and Cardinal Newman have been struggling on the defensive side of the ball (the former allowing an average of 33.33 points per game, the latter an average of 28.83 points per game). We'll find out which offense can take advantage of this fact when the two teams meet this week.
