The Bell Creek Academy Panthers will be playing in front of their home fans against the Faith Christian Lions at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Bell Creek Academy comes in on a streak of failing to score more than 12 points in their last four games, a trend the squad is of course eager to reverse.
Bell Creek Academy fell victim to Cambridge Christian's stalwart defense on Friday and couldn't make it onto the board. They had to suffer through a rough 35-0 loss at the hands of the Lancers.

Meanwhile, Faith Christian ended up a good deal behind St. Edward's on Thursday and lost 37-21.
Despite their defeat, Faith Christian saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays.

The team also got some help courtesy of Brandon Valentine, who rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
The losses dropped Bell Creek Academy to 3-5 and Faith Christian to 4-4.
