Pendleton Heights is six games into its season, but it hasn't met anyone harder than the team challenging it next. It takes on Mt. Vernon this Friday at 7:00 PM. Both teams are strolling into their matchup after big wins in their previous games.
Pendleton Heights brought some tenacious defense (the best it has had all year) into its match. It had all the answers against Connersville last week, winning 31 - 7. With three TDs, senior running back Payton Huth was a significant factor in the success.
Meanwhile, Mt. Vernon breezed past Richmond last week with a final score of 46 - 14. Junior quarterback Zac Montgomery was a big part of the win as his strong performance led the charge (he ran for 115 yards and punched in two touchdowns). Montgomery has been a consistent playmaker for Mt. Vernon as this was the 6th good game in a row from him.
Their wins bumped Mt. Vernon to 7-3 and Pendleton Heights to 3-7. The two teams picked up some nice yardage in their most recent games (418 for Pendleton Heights and 409 for Mt. Vernon), so expect some excitement on the offensive end of the ball.
