Central Christian (4-3) and Hearts Academy (3-3) are set to face off this Friday at 7:30 PM. It should turn out to be a fierce showdown as Hearts Academy is ranked 10th in the state and Central Christian is ranked 9th.
A win looked likely for Central Christian given its edge in the state rankings, but it did even better than expected two weeks ago. The final score between it and Twiggs Academy two weeks ago was a 50 - 0 blowout in Central Christian's favor. At 50 points, that marked Central Christian's largest margin of victory so far this year.
Meanwhile, last week Hearts Academy came up short against Cherokee Christian, falling 58 - 44. The team got a solid performance out of senior Jordan Elliott (he ran for 114 yards and also punched in two touchdowns); unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the win. Elliott has now scored at least one TD in the past six consecutive games.
The last time they met, Central Christian walked away with a 42 - 28 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for it since the team will be on Hearts Academy's home field this time. We'll soon find out whether that makes a difference or not.
