Cedar Crest (4 - 3) is eight games into its season, but it hasn't met anyone harder than the team challenging it this week. It and Manheim Central (6 - 1) go head to head this Friday at 7:00 PM. Manheim Central will have its work cut out for it as Cedar Crest has been consistently good at home (where its record is 3-0).
Last week, Cedar Crest took on Solanco. Cedar Crest's offense came in ready to rumble, putting up 21 points in the first half. That put it at a 21 - 17 advantage. Unfortunately, Cedar Crest's defense allowed 21 points in the second half, dropping the lead when it really counted. The final was a 38 - 21 loss for it.
Meanwhile, the final score between Manheim Central and Ephrata last week was a 55 - 0 blowout in Manheim Central's favor. Junior wide receiver Jake Novak provided the team with an impressive 100 receiving yards in the victory. Novak has now scored at least one TD in the past four consecutive games.
We'll see if Cedar Crest can recover from its defensive difficulties last week or if Manheim Central gives the team a hard time.
