The Delta Eagles will be playing at home against the Yorktown Tigers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the pair will really light up the scoreboard.

Meanwhile, Yorktown's three-game losing streak came to an end on Friday. They enjoyed a cozy 31-14 win over Fort Wayne Concordia Lutheran. Given Yorktown's advantage in MaxPreps' Indiana football rankings (they are ranked 99th, while Fort Wayne Concordia Lutheran is ranked 242nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
It was another big night for Ayden Ewing, who rushed for 324 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry. Ewing's longest rush was for an incredible 80 yards.
Their wins bumped Delta to 6-4 and Yorktown to 5-5.
