The Memorial Tigers will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against the Weequahic Indians at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
Memorial is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after starting their season on the road. They took a blow against Beloved Community Charter back in April, falling 31-0.
Meanwhile, Weequahic faced East Orange Campus in a battle between two of the state's top teams on Thursday. The Indians were the clear victors by a 26-6 margin over the Jaguars. The Indians might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three games by 20 points or more this season.
Weequahic's win came from a few key players Memorial will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Heaven Porter, who picked up 60 receiving yards and one TD, and also rushed for 47 yards and one touchdown. That's the most receiving yards she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Haddiyah Bell, who threw for 160 yards and one touchdown on only 11 passes.
Weequahic didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. Porter picked up that interception and then proceeded to rub salt in the wound by taking it back the other way for a touchdown. She got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.
