The Elkhart Lions will head out on the road to take on the Penn Kingsmen at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Elkhart will head into Friday's match hoping to keep the good times rolling: they only won by three when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 21-point they dealt South Bend St. Joseph on Friday. Elkhart was the clear victor by a 38-17 margin over South Bend St. Joseph. Given the Lions' advantage in MaxPreps' Indiana football rankings (they are ranked 42nd, while the Huskies are ranked 132nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
It was another big night for Novell Miller, who rushed for 118 yards and three touchdowns. Connor Dow handled things on the ground, rushing for 80 yards.
Elkhart's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Londyn Johnson and Nick Bosworth. Bosworth is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
