After each having a week off, the Hoggard Vikings and the Broughton Capitals will shake off the cobwebs and square off against one another at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Hoggard will be looking to keep their 13-game home win streak dating back to last season alive.
Hoggard gave up the first points two weeks ago, but they didn't let that get them down. They put the hurt on New Hanover with a sharp 39-13 victory. The Vikings might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven games by 26 points or more this season.

Meanwhile, Monroe did his best for the losing side, rushing for 33 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 120 yards on 15 of 27 attempts.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Broughton). They came out on top in a nail-biter against Sanderson two weeks ago, sneaking past 39-36.
