After two games on the road, Aquinas is heading back home. They will welcome the Baldwin Braves at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Last Friday, Aquinas didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Harlem, but they still walked away with a 12-7 victory. The 12-point effort marked the Fightin' Irish's lowest-scoring match of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Aquinas' success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Jim Franklin led the charge by throwing for 173 yards and a touchdown. Aquinas also got a significant boost from Christian Kates, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 85 yards.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Aquinas' defense and their three sacks. In that department, Harrison Fitzgerald was the leader with two.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Baldwin). They blew past Hephzibah, posting a 57-0 win at home.
Aquinas now has a winning record of 3-2. As for Baldwin, their victory bumped their record up to 2-3.
