Football Game Preview: Whitman vs. Red Jacket

Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Red Jacket should expect quite the challenge on Friday. They take on Whitman at Marcus Whitman High School at 7:00 PM. Red Jacket have seen their point totals decreasing over the past three games, a vulnerability Whitman are surely hoping to exploit.

If Red Jacket were riding high off their 39-8 takedown of Cuba-Rushford two weeks ago, that ride came to an abrupt end. Red Jacket took a 20-28 hit to the loss column at the hands of Dundee. Red Jacket's loss signaled the end of their three-game winning streak.

Meanwhile, Whitman made easy work of Finney/Northstar Christian Academy last Friday and carried off a 60-34 victory. The victory was a breath of fresh air for Whitman as it put an end to their three-game losing streak.

Whitman's win lifted them to 1-3 while Red Jacket's defeat dropped them down to 3-2. We'll find out if Whitman can add another positive mark to their record or if Red Jacket can shake off the defeat and take the spring out of Whitman's step.
