Preview: Northeastern vs. Fairmont
Northeastern have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. Fairmont and Northeastern go head to head on Friday at 7:30 PM in their first playoff game of the year. The two teams have set a high bar for this contest after stand-out offensive performances in their previous contests.
Fairmont ran circles around West Columbus last week, and the extra yardage (350.1 yards vs. 84 yards) paid off. Fairmont put a hurting on West Columbus to the tune of 44-0. Senior Jordan Waters, who rushed for 128 yards and 2 touchdowns on 9 carries, was a major factor in Fairmont's success. Senior Jordan Waters has made a name for himself in their last 11 games, proving himself to be a reliable offensive weapon.
Meanwhile, Northeastern brought a nine-game winning streak into their match against Pasquotank County two weeks ago; they left with a ten-game streak. Northeastern took the match with ease, bagging a 73-6 win over Pasquotank County. That 67-point margin sets a new personal best for Northeastern on the season.
Their wins bumped Northeastern to 10-0 and Fairmont to 5-6. After the lofty point totals in their previous games, we'll see if they're able to heat things up even more while facing each other.
