The John F. Kennedy Catholic Eagles will venture away from home to square off against the Garfield G-Men at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
While Eagles fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Thursday's season opener. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Liberty 22-19.
Meanwhile, Garfield gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. Everything went their way against Edgewood as Garfield made off with a 47-27 victory.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Garfield was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 275 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 219 rushing yards in 14 consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
Garfield didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Colin McGranahan.
John F. Kennedy Catholic was dealt a bruising 61-26 defeat at the hands of Garfield when the teams last played back in August of 2023. Thankfully for John F. Kennedy Catholic, Leo Grandizio (who picked up 143 receiving yards and three touchdowns) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
