Alleghany have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They and East Columbus go head to head on Friday at 7:30 PM in their first playoff matchup of the year. Alleghany are expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the matchup prepared for a fight.
Two weeks ago, Alleghany put the finishing touches on their fifth blowout victory of the season. They put a hurting on Elkin to the tune of 40-0. Senior Spencer Murphy, who rushed for 84 yards and 3 touchdowns on 15 carries, was a major factor in Alleghany's success. Senior Spencer Murphy has made a name for himself in their last three games, proving himself to be a reliable offensive weapon.
Meanwhile, East Columbus have to be aching after a bruising 6-31 loss to Whiteville last Friday. The blowout was painful but not necessarily a suprise as Whiteville enjoys a considerable advantage in the MaxPreps rankings.
Alleghany's win lifted them to 6-5 while East Columbus's defeat dropped them down to 4-7. We'll see if Alleghany's success rolls on or if East Columbus are able to steal their positive momentum.
