If Willis heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when College Park took over last week. College Park enjoyed a cozy 28-14 victory over Grand Oaks on Friday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Cavaliers.

Another reason for the win was College Park's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. In that department, Estaban Asong was the leader with two. He is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last three games he's played.
Meanwhile, Willis put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their perfect season alive. They breezed by Cleveland at home to the tune of 77-0. The Wildkats' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.

He was just one part of a punishing run game: Willis was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 331 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
College Park now has a winning record of 3-2. As for Willis, their victory was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-0.
We should be in store for an exciting game as both have no problem gaining yardage. College Park has been on an offensive roll this season, having averaged 359 total yards per game. However, it's not like Willis struggles in that department as they've been averaging 491.2. With a pair of commanding offenses duking it out, the defenses are going to have their work cut out for them.
College Park was dealt a bruising 56-17 loss at the hands of Willis when the teams last played back in October of 2023. Thankfully for College Park, Derek Lagway (who threw for 392 yards and five touchdowns while completing 79.3% of his passes, and also rushed for 31 yards) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
