Heritage Christian won the last time they faced Covenant Christian and things went their way on Friday too. The Eagles walked away with a 23-13 win over the Warriors.
Eli Nix was his usual excellent self, throwing for 219 yards and a pair of TDs while completing 76.7% of his passes, and also rushing for 67 yards and one score.
Heritage Christian didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Covenant Christian to a completion percentage of just 40%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from two players: Justus Klingerman and Andrew Sloan, who each logged one passes deflected. Given Nix's standout performance, it's clear Covenant Christian's secondary just wasn't on the same level.
Covenant Christian's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Caleb Jankowski, who picked up 130 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and Zeb Cox, who threw for 172 yards and a pair of TDs. Jankowski really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 79 yards.
