First Baptist Academy have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They will look to defend their home turf on Friday against Marco Island Academy at 7:30 PM. It might come down to the wire as the MaxPreps state rankings project a close matchup.
First Baptist Academy gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener two weeks ago. They steamrollered Evangelical Christian 54-14. First Baptist Academy was expected to win, but the margin was definitely larger than the state rankings had forecast.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 0-39, which was the final score in Marco Island Academy's tilt against Oasis last week.
First Baptist Academy's win lifted them to 1-0 while Marco Island Academy's defeat dropped them down to 0-2. In their victory, First Baptist Academy relied heavily on senior Thomas Casey, who rushed for 79 yards and 5 touchdowns; a key strategy for Marco Island Academy will lie in finding a way to minimize his impact.
