The Arizona College Prep Knights will head out on the road to face off against the Apache Junction Prospectors 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'.
Arizona College Prep can't be to happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Friday. They were beaten by Crown Point 42-7. While losing is never fun, the Knights can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 46th in Arizona, while the Bulldogs are ranked eighth in Indiana).
Meanwhile, Apache Junction couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They took a 27-13 bruising from Peoria on Friday. The Prospectors just can't catch a break and have now endured seven losses in a row dating back to last season.
Arizona College Prep strolled past Apache Junction in their previous matchup back in September of 2023 by a score of 35-21.
