Football Preview: WestSide Renegades vs. Liberty Raiders
The WestSide Renegades will head out to square off against the Liberty Raiders at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. WestSide will be coming into the match with an undefeated record on the line.
If WestSide beats Liberty with 35 points on Friday, it's going to be the team's new lucky number: they've won their past two contests with that exact score. WestSide walked away with a 35-25 win over PikeView last Friday.
It was another big night for Kadien Vance, who rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also threw for 234 yards and two touchdowns while completing 84.2% of his passes. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season. Kyler Kenneda was Vance's top target, picking up 134 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to WestSide's defense and their four sacks. PikeView's QB won't forget Cole Cline anytime soon given he sacked him twice.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Liberty). They simply couldn't be stopped on Saturday as they easily beat Buffalo 48-6 at home. The high-scoring effort was just what the Raiders needed considering they were shutout in their previous matchup.
