Keep an eye on the end zone in Thursday's game as the two teams haven't had much trouble getting there this season. Arapahoe commands a daunting offense this season, having averaged 6.2 touchdowns per game. However, it's not like Hemingford struggles in that department as they've been averaging 5.5 per game. With these two high-octane teams facing off on Thursday, fans should be in for an exciting offensive matchup.
Arapahoe took a serious blow against Hemingford when the teams last played back in October of 2018, falling 60-14. Thankfully for Arapahoe, Justin Davis (who rushed for 307 yards and seven touchdowns while picking up 15.4 yards per carry) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
