Andrew had trouble last Friday, and unfortunately for them, their opponent this week is a big step up in difficulty. Nazareth Academy and Andrew go head to head on Saturday at 1:00 PM in their first playoff game of the year. Andrew are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one.
Andrew fought the good fight in their overtime matchup but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They and Lincoln-Way West were almost perfectly matched up, but they suffered an agonizing 13-14 defeat. That makes it the first time this season Andrew have let down their home crowd.
Meanwhile, Nazareth Academy put the finishing touches on their 6th blowout victory of the season. They put a hurting on Marian Catholic to the tune of 42-7. The Nazareth Academy offense checked out after the first half but had enough points banked to take the match anyway.
Nazareth Academy's win lifted them to 8-1 while Andrew's loss dropped them down to 6-3. We'll find out if Nazareth Academy can add another positive mark to their record or if Andrew can shake off the loss and take the spring out of Nazareth Academy's step.
