Mount St. Joseph will challenge National Christian Academy on the road at 1:00 PM on Saturday. Mount St. Joseph don't have the home-field advantage, but they do enjoy an advantage in the MaxPreps rankings.
Last Friday, Mount St. Joseph faced Archbishop Spalding in a battle between two of the state top teams. Mount St. Joseph fell just short of Archbishop Spalding by a score of 25-28. Despite the loss, Mount St. Joseph saw an underclassman step up: Sophomore Billy Atkins passed for 335 yards and 1 touchdown. Atkins has now scored at least one touchdown in the past ten games.
Meanwhile, National Christian Academy came into their matchup this week averaging 34.71 points per game, but National Christian Academy fell well short of that average, and it cost them. They took a 6-13 hit to the loss column at the hands of Friendship Collegiate Academy. National Christian Academy's defeat signaled the end of their three-game winning streak.
The teams both will surely be scrapping 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.
