Preview: Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian Braves vs. Vanlue Wildcats

The Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian Braves will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against the Vanlue Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. on October 20th. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian fell victim to Fremont's stalwart defense on Friday and couldn't make it onto the board. They were beaten by the Eagles 34-0. The last quarter was a mere formality, since the game's final score was reached by the end of the third quarter.

Even if they lost, Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian's defensive line still kept up the pressure with three sacks. Leading the way was Chip Bennett and his two sacks.

Meanwhile, Vanlue's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Friday after their sixth straight loss. They were dealt a 70-6 loss at the hands of North Central.

Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian's loss was their ninth straight on the road (dating back to last season), which dropped their overall record down to 0-9. That rough patch could be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 10.67 points per game. Vanlue has not been sharp this season, as they've lost seven of their first eight contests, which leaves them at a 1-7 record this season.
