The Poly Engineers will challenge the Forest Park Foresters at 3:45 p.m. on Friday.
On Friday, Poly had to suffer through a 50-6 loss at the hands of Dunbar. The loss put an end to the Engineers' undefeated start to the season.
Meanwhile, after only two points in their last game, Forest Park made sure to put some points up on the board against City College on Friday. The Foresters came out on top against the Black Knights by a score of 32-22.
Poly better keep an eye on David Chambers. He was instrumental in Forest Park's win, throwing for 147 yards and three TDs, while also punching in one touchdown on the ground.
One reason for the win was Forest Park's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for six sacks. Jaelyn Vanlandingham was especially locked on to City College's QB and sacked him twice. Vanlandingham is also crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least five every time he's taken the field this season. Another thorn in City College's side was Amari Blue, who picked up a sack and made five total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Having lost for the first time this season, Poly fell to 2-1. As for Forest Park, their victory bumped their record up to 3-1.
Poly might still be hurting after the 31-6 defeat they got from Forest Park when the teams last played back in September of 2024. Thankfully for the Engineers, Wilbert Sampson (who rushed for 49 yards and one score, and also threw for 136 yards and one TD on only seven passes) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
