Allentown has enjoyed a three-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will venture away from home to take on the Hightstown Rams at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Both are strolling into their matchups after big wins in their previous games.
Last Friday, Allentown took their contest at home with ease, bagging a 42-13 victory over Ewing. Given the Redbirds' advantage in MaxPreps' New Jersey football rankings (they are ranked 84th, while the Blue Devils are ranked 285th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hightstown). They put the hurt on West Windsor-Plainsboro North/West Windsor-Plainsboro South with a sharp 26-0 win on Thursday. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest victory the Rams have posted since September 14, 2023.
Allentown's win bumped their record up to 5-2. As for Hightstown, their victory bumped their record up to 2-5.
Everything came up roses for Allentown against Hightstown in their previous meeting back in October of 2023, as the squad secured a 45-13 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Allentown since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
