Wapakoneta is 8-2 against Kenton since September of 2015 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. The Redskins will look to defend their home field against the Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Wapakoneta has seven straight victories, Kenton has four straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
If Wapakoneta beats Kenton with 42 points on Friday, it's going to be the team's new lucky number: they've won their past two matchups with that exact score. The Redskins took their contest on Friday with ease, bagging a 42-14 win over Shawnee. Considering the Redskins have won five games by more than 20 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
