Central had trouble last Monday, and unfortunately for them, their opponent this week is a big step up in difficulty. East Providence and Central go head to head on Saturday at 5:00 PM in their first playoff matchup of the year. The odds don't look promising for Central, but the bigger the opponent is, the harder they fall.
After soaring to 41 points the game before, Central faltered in their game on Monday. They were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap, as they fell 10-14 to St. Raphael Academy.
Meanwhile, East Providence faced Bishop Hendricken in a battle between two of the state top teams. East Providence fell to Bishop Hendricken 14-21. East Providence were down by 0-21 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
Both teams will surely be scrapping tooth and nail to get back into the win column after losses last week. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
