Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Wright should expect quite the challenge on Thursday. They take on Ascension Catholic at 7:00 PM. With the two teams each stumbling in off of a defeat, both will be hungry for the victory.
Wright secured a 18-12 W over KIPP Booker T. Washington.
Meanwhile, Ascension Catholic was the big favorite in their most recent match, and for good reason. They took the contest and then some with a 66-0 win last Friday. With Ascension Catholic ahead 54-0, the match was all but decided by halftime.
Their wins bumped Ascension Catholic to 2-0 and Wright to 1-1. In their win, Ascension Catholic relied heavily on senior Rodney Blanchard, who rushed for 42 yards and 1 touchdown; a key strategy for Wright will lie in finding a way to minimize his impact.
