Jefferson will challenge Ames on the road at 7:00 PM on Friday. After the teams both made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.
Their game two weeks ago wasn't at all kind to Jefferson, but their most recent game may have softened the blow. They blew past Des Moines North 34-12. The win was a breath of fresh air for Jefferson as it put an end to their four-game losing streak.
Meanwhile, Ames were the big favorite in their most recent match, and for good reason. They were fully in charge last Friday, breezing past Lincoln 49-3. Followers of Ames probably expected little less of the team in a season in which they have collected three blowout victories.
Their wins bumped Ames to 4-2 and Jefferson to 2-5. With both Jefferson and Ames swaggering in after impressive performances, it will be interesting to see which team steps up to teach the other some humility.
