If Lighthouse HomeSchool wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Evangel Christian, they should've done a better job of containing Eli Black.

Trey Hope was Black's top target, picking up 64 receiving yards and one touchdown, while also punching in one TD on the ground. Hope also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing one fumble, making one tackle (0.5 for loss), and defending one pass.
Although Lighthouse HomeSchool took the loss, they still got scores from JADEN COSPER and HENRY SMITH.
The victory made it two in a row for Evangel Christian and bumps their season record up to 3-3. Those wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 14 points in those games.
