Maize has the luxury of staying at home another week and will welcome Emporia at 7 p.m. ET on Friday. Both teams have allowed few points on average (Maize 13, Emporia 16.11), so any points scored will be well earned.
The Eagles entered their game last week as the heavy favorite, and they fully lived up to expectations. They steamrolled Liberal 49-14. The team ran away with 42 points in the first half and mostly just sat on those in the second to pick up the win.
Meanwhile, Emporia was able to grind out a solid victory over Newton last Friday, winning 41-29. Beau Baumgardner had a stellar game for Emporia as he rushed for 168 yards and one TD on 16 carries. Emporia received support from Baumgardner on the other side of the ball, too, as he amassed 13 tackles. Baumgardner scored two touchdowns overall-- his season high.
Their wins bumped the Eagles to 8-1 and the Spartans to 6-3. While both teams are coming in off of wins, only one will triumph this game. Who will it be? Check back in with MaxPreps after the game is over for details.
