The Easton Area Rovers will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the Spring-Ford Rams at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Easton Area is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They took a 21-12 hit to the loss column at the hands of Central Bucks West on Friday. The loss leaves the Rovers without a win on the season.
Meanwhile, Spring-Ford didn't have too much trouble with Souderton on the road on Friday as they won 31-14. Given the Rams' advantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania football rankings (they are ranked 16th, while the Indians are ranked 67th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Spring-Ford's victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Jamal Lewis, who rushed for 82 yards and three touchdowns. The team also got some help courtesy of Matt Zollers, who threw for 252 yards and a touchdown while completing 81.8% of his passes.
Another reason for the win was Spring-Ford's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks. Taegan Tutrani was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up twohimself. Bryce Roberts was another major factor on D, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making nine total tackles (2.0 for loss).
