England is hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 35.11 points per game. They have the luxury of staying at home another week and will welcome Poyen at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday. It might come down to the wire as the MaxPreps rankings project a close contest.
England made easy work of Quitman last week and carried off a 28-6 victory. The squad ran away with 20 points in the first half and mostly just sat on those in the second to pick up the win.
Meanwhile, the game between Poyen and Mountain Pine was not a total blowout, but with Poyen falling 36-20, it was darn close. A silver lining for Poyen was the play of Brandon Sanchez, who picked up 103 yards on the ground on 24 carries and snatched two receiving TDs. Sanchez has now scored at least one touchdown in the past nine games. Sanchez's sharp performance set his single-game receiving touchdown high for the season.
England's win lifted them to 4-5 while Poyen's loss dropped them down to 7-2. We'll see if the Lions can repeat their recent success or if the Indians bounce back and reverse their fortune.
