This week, Whale Branch (2-4) faces off against Academic Magnet (2-4) on Friday at 7:30 PM.
Whale Branch is still under.500 but has been making strides to fix that in its last two games. It got a somewhat close 21 - 16 victory over North Charleston last week. Whale Branch had two big standouts, as junior Irvin Mulligan gained 141 yards on the ground and also added 15 yards receiving, while junior C.j. Brown threw for 44 yards and gained 129 yards on the ground. This marked the 3rd consecutive game in which Mulligan had 100+ rushing yards. Meanwhile, last week Academic Magnet came up short against Garrett Academy Tech, falling 20 - 12.
The last time they met, Whale Branch was the 27 - 0 victor. It was able to move the ball a lot more (379 yards compared to 26 yards), a gap Academic Magnet will be looking to close this time around. The rematch might be a little tougher for Whale Branch since the team will be on Academic Magnet's home field this time. We'll soon find out whether that makes a difference or not.
