The Piper Bengals will challenge the Monarch Knights at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Piper is currently enjoying a perfect season and no doubt wants to keep things rolling.
Piper will bounce into Thursday's contest after beating Plantation, who they had gone 1-6 against in their seven prior meetings. Piper walked away with a 14-7 win over Plantation on Friday. The 14-point effort marked the Bengals' lowest-scoring matchup of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Piper didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Jefferson Saintcius, Jahmani Chin-Suer, and Antrell Mcwhirter picked up one apiece. Chin-Suer is also crushing it when it comes to defended passes: he's defended at least one every time he's taken the field this season. Another thorn in Plantation's side was Thomas James, who picked up a sack and made five total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, a victory for Monarch just wasn't in the cards on Friday as the team wasn't able to take the lead at any point. They were outmatched by St. Thomas Aquinas on the road and fell 44-6. While losing is never fun, the Knights can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 65th, while the Raiders are ranked sixth).
Piper's win was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-0. As for Monarch, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-3.
