Central Academy (2 - 5) is seven games into its season, but it hasn't met anyone harder than the team challenging it this week. It and Kemper Academy (6 - 0) are set to face off this Friday . Kemper Academy will be looking to take advantage of a struggling Central Academy defense that has allowed an average of 30 points per game.
Last week, Central Academy took on Delta Academy. Central Academy had a sluggish start, posting zero total points in the first half. That put it down 8 - 0. The defense didn't fare much better, allowing 18 points in the second half. The final was a 26 - 20 loss for Central Academy.
Meanwhile, Kemper Academy picked up a decisive 'W' against Delta Streets Academy, finishing up at 66 - 16. With four TDs, senior Trent Lightner was a significant factor in the success.
A win for Central Academy would reverse both its bad luck and Kemper Academy's good luck. We'll see if Central Academy manages to pull off that tough task or if Kemper Academy keeps its momentum going instead.
