Preview: Johnson Ferry Christian Academy Saints vs. Young Americans Christian Eagles
The Johnson Ferry Christian Academy Saints will take on the Young Americans Christian Eagles at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The matchup should be an exciting one, as these teams are ranked near one another in Georgia (Johnson Ferry Christian Academy is ranked 17th, while Young Americans Christian is ranked ninth).
Last Friday, Johnson Ferry Christian Academy was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 27-23 to Westminster Christian Academy.
Johnson Ferry Christian Academy's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Lucas Scheffer, who rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.2 yards per carry, and Austin Ahmad who picked up 73 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Ahmad was no stranger to the big play, connecting with a big catch that went for 60 yards.
Young Americans Christian fell on hard times earlier this season, but after back-to-back wins it seems like their luck might finally be changing. They managed a 36-30 victory over Central Christian on Friday.
The opposite results left the teams with opposite records: Westminster Christian Academy's victory pushed their record up to 4-5, while Johnson Ferry Christian Academy's defeat dropped theirs down to 5-4.
