Airline has won seven straight games at home (dating back to last season), while Destrehan has won seven straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Friday. The Airline Vikings will host the Destrehan Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Airline is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They were the clear victor by a 42-16 margin over Westgate. With the Vikings ahead 21-0 at the half, the game was all but over already.
It was another big night for Ben Taylor, who threw for 279 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown. Kenny Darby was Taylor's top target, picking up 145 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Destrehan). They really took it to Northwood for the full four quarters, racking up a 63-21 victory. Given the Wildcats' advantage in MaxPreps' Louisiana football rankings (they are ranked 15th, while the Falcons are ranked 69th), the result on Friday wasn't entirely unexpected.
Airline's win bumped their record up to 11-0. As for Destrehan, their victory bumped their record up to 10-3.
