The Episcopal Maroon will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the North Cross Raiders at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
Episcopal is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They lost 34-14 to St. Christopher's on Friday. The Maroon were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 24-0.
Meanwhile, North Cross' offense rose to the challenge against a Buccaneers defense that boasted an average of only 16.25 points allowed on Friday. North Cross simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Charlotte Country Day School 33-0 on the road. Given the Raiders' advantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 19th in Virginia, while the Buccaneers are ranked 83rd in North Carolina), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
