Legend knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 points or more in their past nine matchups -- so hopefully Valor Christian likes a good challenge.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Valor Christian). They took their game on Friday with ease, bagging a 70-28 win over Erie. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 35-14.
Legend better keep an eye on Titus Huard. He was instrumental in Valor Christian's win, throwing for 309 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.4 yards per attempt, and also punching in a pair of TDs on the ground. Cash Spence also helped out as he racked up 130 receiving yards.
Legend's victory was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 10-1. The home wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 13.8 points on average over those games. As for Valor Christian, their victory bumped their record up to 9-2.
Saturday's contest might be decided on the ground. Legend has been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 184.9 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Valor Christian struggles in that department as they've been averaging 177.2 rushing yards. There's a good chance Saturday's game turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Legend was able to grind out a solid win over Valor Christian in their previous meeting back in November of 2023, winning 20-13. Will the Titans repeat their success, or do the Eagles have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
