The Camden Panthers will venture away from home to take on the Lenape Indians at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Camden's offense hasn't had much luck over their past three contests, but Saturday's matchup will give them a chance to turn things around.
If Lenape heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when Camden took over last week. The Panthers never let Timber Creek Regional get on the board and left with a 12-0 win on Monday. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' New Jersey football rankings (they are ranked 13th, while the Chargers are ranked 80th) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Camden relied on the efforts of Roman Duckett, who rushed for 98 yards and one touchdown on only eight carries, and Ibn Muhammad, who gained 75 total yards and a touchdown.
Another reason for the win was Camden's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for six sacks. Haleem Muhammad was especially locked on to Timber Creek Regional's QB and sacked him twice.
Meanwhile, Lenape fell victim to St. Augustine Prep and their airtight defense on Friday. They took a blow against the Hermits, falling 27-0. The Indians haven't had much luck with the Hermits recently, as the team has come up short the last six times they've met.
Camden pushed their record up to 5-2 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season. The road wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 4.0 points on average over those games. As for Lenape, their loss dropped their record down to 0-6.
Camden strolled past Lenape in their previous matchup back in October of 2024 by a score of 34-17. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Panthers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
