Football Game Preview: Chester vs. Maxwell

Chester and Maxwell go head to head on Friday at 6:00 PM in their first playoff contest of the year. Chester are the favorites in this one -- although they were the favorites in their last match, too, so the odds might count for a little less.

Four stomps in ten total games is nothing to scoff at, and that's exactly where Maxwell stand after their most recent game last week. Everything went their way against Quincy as they made off with a 42-12 win. No one put up better numbers for Maxwell than junior Trent Hendrix, who brought his A game into the match. He passed for 294 yards and 4 touchdowns. Hendrix has now scored at least one touchdown in the past five games.

Meanwhile, Chester scored first but ultimately less often than Biggs in their matchup. Chester fell to Biggs 14-28. That makes it the first time this season Chester have let down their home crowd.

Maxwell's victory lifted them to 5-5 while Chester's defeat dropped them down to 7-3. We'll see if Maxwell's success rolls on or if Chester are able to steal their positive momentum.
