If the MaxPreps state rankings hold true, the near future looks bright for Baker. Freeport and Baker go head to head on Friday at 7:30 PM in their first playoff contest of the year. Baker are cruising in on a nine-game winning streak while Freeport are stumbling in off of three consecutive losses.
Freeport have relied on a stalwart defense averaging points allowed per game, but that average took a hit last week. They ended up on the wrong side of a painful 21-49 walloping at Northview's hands. Freeport got a solid performance out of junior Brandon Siples, who rushed for 245 yards and 2 touchdowns on 24 carries; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the victory. Junior Brandon Siples has been one of their standout athletes in their past eight games.
Meanwhile, Baker can now show off seven landslide victories after their most recent matchup. They took the match with ease, bagging a 47-0 win over Graceville. That 47-point margin sets a new personal best for Baker on the season.
Baker's win lifted them to 9-0 while Freeport's loss dropped them down to 3-6. Senior Junior Mclaughlin will be someone to keep an eye on after he rushed for 156 yards and 2 touchdowns on 15 carries last Friday. Let see if he can build on that strong performance or if Freeport's defense can bottle him up.
