Spalding will take on Howard at home at 7:30 PM on Friday. The odds don't look promising for Spalding, but the bigger the opponent is, the harder they fall.
Things haven't been easy for Spalding, and their game last Friday only extended their streak of losses to three. It was a hard-fought game, but they had to settle for a 14-26 loss against Perry. A silver lining for Spalding was the play of senior Zion Puckett, who picked up 93 yards on the ground and accumulated 127 passing yards. Near the top of the highlight reel was Puckett's 61-yard TD bomb to Celsey Middlebrooks in the second quarter.
Meanwhile, Howard came up short against Upson-Lee, falling 24-38. Howard were down by 17-38 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
The last time the two teams met, Spalding won a contest that couldn't have been any closer, slipping by Howard 27-26. Will Spalding repeat their success, or does Howard have a better game plan this time around ? We'll find out soon enough.
