Preview: Tabor Academy Seawolves vs. Lawrence Academy Spartans
Tabor Academy is on a five-game streak of home wins, while Lawrence Academy is on a six-game streak of away wins (dating back to last season): one of those streaks is about to end. The Tabor Academy Seawolves will take on the Lawrence Academy Spartans at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. One thing working in Tabor Academy's favor is that they have now posted big point totals every time they've taken the field this season.
Last Saturday, Tabor Academy got themselves on the board against St. Mark's, but St. Mark's never followed suit. They breezed by the Lions at home to the tune of 53-0. Given Tabor Academy's advantage in MaxPreps' Massachusetts football rankings (they are ranked 12th, while St. Mark's is ranked 65th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
