The Circleville Tigers will venture away from home to challenge the Amanda-Clearcreek Aces at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Circleville is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering Logan Elm just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Friday. They took a 35-17 bruising from the Braves. That makes it the first time this season the Tigers have let down their home crowd.
Despite their loss, Circleville saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Hudson Phalin, who threw for 234 yards and two touchdowns, was perhaps the best of all. A healthy portion of that aerial production (97 yards to be exact) went to Kole Nungester, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
Meanwhile, Amanda-Clearcreek came up short against Bloom-Carroll last Friday, falling 35-10. While losing is never fun, the Aces can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Ohio football rankings (they are ranked 437th, while the Bulldogs are ranked 193rd).
