Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps national rankings, Paoli should expect quite the challenge on Friday. They will take on Pond Creek-Hunter in the second round of the playoffs at 7:30 PM. The two teams have allowed few points on average (Paoli 11.27, Pond Creek-Hunter 12.18), so any points scored will be well earned.
Paoli might be getting used to good results now that the team has ten wins in a row. It was just another Friday night under the lights for Paoli, who beat Covington-Douglas 26-14 last Friday. No one put up better numbers for Paoli than senior Cory Cunningham, who brought his A game into the match. He picked up 235 yards on the ground on 34 carries. If you haven't heard Cunningham's name lately, then you haven't been paying much attention: he has loomed large in their past three games.
Meanwhile, Pond Creek-Hunter earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last week. They put a hurting on Mountain View-Gotebo to the tune of 42-0. The lopsided score is just par for the course this season for Pond Creek-Hunter, who can brag about seven blowout wins.
Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 10-1. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
