The City College Black Knights are taking a road trip to challenge the Bel Air Bobcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. City College is looking to tack on another W to their four-game streak on the road dating back to last season.
City College is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering Mergenthaler Vo-Tech just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Friday. They were dealt a 50-12 loss at the hands of the Mustangs. Having soared to a lofty 40 points in the game before, the Black Knights couldn't push the score so high this time.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Bel Air). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat Joppatowne 43-0. The result was nothing new for the Bobcats, who have now won three matchups by 26 points or more so far this season.
Bel Air's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Dylan James led the charge by rushing for 69 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.
Bel Air is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-4 record this season. Those good results were due in large part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 11.0 points per game. As for City College, their defeat dropped their record down to 5-4.
City College was able to grind out a solid victory over Bel Air in their previous meeting back in November of 2023, winning 38-26. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Bel Air's Joel Tristan Ouandji Nana, who rushed for 170 yards and three touchdowns. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will City College still be able to contain Tristan Ouandji Nana? There's only one way to find out.
