On Friday Metro Christian will have to hit the road after three straight games at home. They will square off against the Jones Longhorns. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Metro Christian is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They took their game with ease, bagging a 55-6 victory over Bethel. Given the Patriots' advantage in MaxPreps' Oklahoma football rankings (they are ranked 33rd, while the Wildcats are ranked 158th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Jones had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 31.2 points) and they went ahead and made it six on Friday. They blew past the Leopards 44-8. The Longhorns pushed the score to 41-0 by the end of the third, a deficit the Leopards cut but never quite recovered from.
It was another big night for Acyn Hansen, who threw for 225 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 81 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries. Chace Pitts was in the mix too, providing Jones with a touchdown.
Jones is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight matches, which provided a nice bump to their 9-2 record this season. Those good results were due in large part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 12.6 points per game. As for Metro Christian, they pushed their record up to 11-0 with the win, which was their seventh straight at home.
Metro Christian didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Jones in their previous meeting back in November of 2018, but they still walked away with a 49-45 victory. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Jones' Daniel Jackson, who threw for 374 yards and four touchdowns. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Metro Christian to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
