Stapleton (2 - 5) faces off against conference powerhouse Sandhills/Thedford (5 - 2) on Friday this week. With five consecutive blowout wins, Sandhills/Thedford is looking for someone to give it a good challenge; hopefully Stapleton will step up.

Last week, Sandhills/Thedford took on Maxwell. Sandhills/Thedford's offense came in ready to rumble, putting up 55 points in the first half. That gave them a 55 - 0 advantage at the half. The defense contributed as well, holding Maxwell to six points in the second half. In the end, Sandhills/Thedford steamrollered its way to an easy 68 - 6 victory.

As for Stapleton, it simply didn't have it last week, losing 77 - 32 to Brady. The team got a solid performance out of sophomore running back Trenton Harbur (he ran for 214 yards and punched in three touchdowns); unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the win. Harbur has now scored at least one TD in the past three consecutive games.

A win for Stapleton would reverse both its bad luck and Sandhills/Thedford's good luck. We'll see if Stapleton manages to pull off that tough task or if Sandhills/Thedford keeps its momentum going instead.
