Preview: Morris Catholic vs. Holy Spirit

Morris Catholic have been homebodies their last two matches, but they are heading out on Friday. Holy Spirit and Morris Catholic go head to head at 7:00 PM in their first playoff contest of the year. Morris Catholic are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it the size of the fight that determines this one.

It was a game Morris Catholic are hoping to forget as they lost a 14-49 blowout to Kittatinny Regional last week. A silver lining for Morris Catholic was the play of junior Jeff Chaplin, who passed for 236 yards and 2 touchdowns. Chaplin has now scored at least one touchdown in the past eight games.

Meanwhile, after flying high against Kingsway two weeks ago, Holy Spirit came back down to earth. Holy Spirit came up short against St. Joseph, falling 14-28. The match was a 14-14 toss-up at halftime, but Holy Spirit were outplayed the rest of the way.

With the two teams each stumbling in off of a loss, both will be hungry for the win. Giving up four turnovers, Morris Catholic had trouble holding onto the ball. We'll see if Holy Spirit exploit that vulnerability.
