Football Game Preview: Elba vs. Santee

On Thursday Elba take on Santee at 6:00 PM. Both teams have had a rocky road up to this point with four consecutive losses apiece.

There's no need to mince words: Elba lost to St. Edward last Friday, and they lost bad. The score wound up at 13-59. Elba got a solid performance out of senior Brody Buckendahl, who rushed for 179 yards and 1 touchdown; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the win. In fact, with nine tackles Buckendahl was a force on both sides of the ball.

Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 0-75, which was the final score in Santee's tilt against Walthill. Santee were in a tough position by the half, with the score sitting at 0-54.

Elba simply couldn't be stopped the last time the two teams met, as they easily beat Santee 44-0. Will Elba repeat their success, or does Santee have a better game plan this time around ? We'll find out soon enough.
