Independence is hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 34.71 points per game. They will square off against Varnado at 7 p.m. ET on Friday. These two teams have had a rocky road up to this point with five consecutive losses for the Tigers and four for Varnado.
We expected the Tigers to have trouble with the significantly higher-ranked Amite last week, and they did. Independence has to be aching after a bruising 34-6 defeat to Amite. The last quarter was a mere formality since it was already 34-6 by the third quarter.
Meanwhile, Varnado received a tough blow as they fell 19-0 to St. Helena College and Career Academy.
Both teams will surely be fighting tooth and nail to get back into the win column after losses last week. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
