East Ridge is hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 30.4 points per game. They will square off against Tohopekaliga at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday. It might come down to the wire as the MaxPreps rankings project a close game.
East Ridge was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap last week as they fell 14-8 to South Lake. East Ridge's loss came about despite a quality game from Robbie Sanders, who picked up 85 yards on the ground on 26 carries and accumulated 190 passing yards.
Meanwhile, Tohopekaliga strolled past Haines City with points to spare, taking the contest 40-20. No one put up better numbers for Tohopekaliga than Tyler Wesley, who really brought his A game. He passed for 270 yards and three TDs.
Tohopekaliga's defense was a presence as well, and it made life painful for the QB and got past Haines City's offensive line for a total of four sacks. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Nathaniel Isaac.
Tohopekaliga's win lifted them to 6-4 while East Ridge's defeat dropped them down to 5-5. We'll find out if Tohopekaliga can add another positive mark to their record or if the Knights can shake off the defeat and take the spring out of Tohopekaliga's step.
