Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Central should expect quite the challenge on Thursday. They have had some extra time to regroup and restrategize before their next contest, which is against Hilldale at 7:00 PM. Hilldale will be strutting in after a win while Central will be stumbling in from a defeat.
Central came up short against McLain Science & Tech two weeks ago, falling 8-20. This makes it the second loss in a row for Central.
Meanwhile, Hilldale didn't have too many spare points in their match with Oologah last week, but they still walked away with a 23-19 victory.
Central's defeat took them down to 0-2 while Hilldale's win pulled them up to 3-0. In their victory, Hilldale relied heavily on senior Dawson Neighbors, who rushed for 111 yards and 2 touchdowns. Central will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
