Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Winfield should expect quite the challenge on Friday. St. Joseph Christian and Winfield go head to head at 7:00 PM in their first playoff match of the year. Winfield strut in flaunting some offensive muscle with an average of 40.89 points per game.
Winfield entered their matchup against Lift for Life Academy last Friday without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. Winfield didn't finish too far behind, but the squad still lost 26-30 to Lift for Life Academy. A silver lining for Winfield was the play of senior Collin Sutton, who rushed for 201 yards and 2 touchdowns. If you haven't heard Sutton's name lately, then you haven't been paying much attention: he has loomed large in their past nine games.
Meanwhile, after flying high against Braymer/Breckenridge two weeks ago, St. Joseph Christian came back down to earth. St. Joseph Christian were completely outmatched, falling 8-60 to King City/Union Star. The game was over by the end of the first half, with no points scored by either team from that point forward.
With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. Find out which team's record gets a tune-up and which team falls into a funk by watching the game and checking back on MaxPreps for the full scoop.
