The Harding Presidents will head out on the road to square off against the McMahon Senators at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither Harding nor McMahon posted many points in their last games, so it might be the defenses that decide this one.
Last Saturday, Harding took a blow against Amity Regional, falling 42-6. While losing is never fun, the Presidents can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Connecticut football rankings (they are ranked 127th, while the Spartans are ranked 45th).
Harding's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Conell Mckinney, who rushed for 91 yards on only six carries, and O?Naveis O?Reagan, who gained 51 total yards and a touchdown. An impressive showing, but Mckinney really ramped things up playing D: he forced a fumble and made eight total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 49-7, which was the final score in McMahon's tilt against Darien on Friday. The Senators haven't had much luck with the Blue Wave recently, as the team's come up short the last seven times they've met.
This is the second loss in a row for Harding and nudges their season record down to 0-2. As for McMahon, their loss dropped their record down to an identical 0-2.
Things could have been worse for Harding, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 43-28 loss to McMahon in their previous meeting back in October of 2014. Thankfully for Harding, Tyre Holman (who rushed for 212 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
