The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. This Thursday Friend takes on Allen in the first playoff game of the year. Friend is coming into the game hot, having won four in a row.
Friend can now show off four landslide victories after its game two weeks ago. It put the hurt on Weeping Water two weeks ago with a conclusive 48 - 0 victory.
Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Allen beat Emerson-Hubbard 44 - 40 two weeks ago. Junior Kyle Smith deserves a lot of the credit as he ran for 246 yards and also punched in three touchdowns. Smith has been a consistent playmaker for Allen as this was the 7th good game in a row from him. Senior Blake McCorkindale banked an additional three TDs for the team.
Their wins bumped Allen to 5-3 and Friend to 7-1. We'll find out which team can carry over its success and which team inevitably falls when Allen and Friend clash.
