If the MaxPreps state rankings hold true, the near future looks bright for Kaplan. On Friday they take on Abbeville at 7:00 PM. Kaplan don't have the home-field advantage, but they do enjoy an advantage in the MaxPreps rankings.
If Kaplan were riding high off their 39-9 takedown of Kinder two weeks ago, that ride came to an abrupt end. Kaplan took a 6-20 hit to the loss column at the hands of Notre Dame. Kaplan's low-scoring loss was the unsatisfying follow-up to their high-scoring outing the matchup before.
Last Friday, Abbeville came up short against Marksville, falling 14-28. This makes it the second defeat in a row for Abbeville.
Kaplan simply couldn't be stopped the last time the two teams met, as they easily beat Abbeville 51-12. The rematch might be a little tougher for Kaplan since the team won't have home-field advantage. Watch the game and check back on MaxPreps to see if the change in venue makes a difference.
