Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Midland Christian should expect quite the challenge on Friday. They and Bishop Lynch go head to head at 6:00 PM in their first playoff match of the year. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.
Their game last Friday wasn't at all kind to Midland Christian, but their most recent contest may have softened the blow. They managed a somewhat close 32-26 victory over All Saints. Midland Christian found their leader in underclassman sophomore Rhett Clark, who rushed for 125 yards and 2 touchdowns on 27 carries. Sophomore Rhett Clark has been one of their standout athletes in their past four games.
Meanwhile, Bishop Lynch put the finishing touches on their fourth blowout victory of the season. Everything went their way against John Paul II as they made off with a 31-0 win. With Bishop Lynch ahead 24-0 at the half, the game was all but over already.
Their wins bumped Midland Christian to 8-2 and Bishop Lynch to 5-4. In Bishop Lynch's win, senior Jack Taylor rushed for 125 yards and 1 touchdown on 25 carries and sophomore Kaidon Salter punched in 1 rushing TD and accumulated 83 passing yards. We'll see if Midland Christian have a strategy for dealing with them or if they lead their team to another successful outing.
