Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Florence should expect quite the challenge on Friday. They will go up against West Lauderdale in continuing playoff action. The stakes are high as the two teams are all in, each fighting to extend its postseason success.
Florence earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last Friday. They skirted past Lawrence County 31-28. Among those leading the charge for Florence was junior Ian Vaughn, who rushed for 102 yards and 4 touchdowns on 25 carries. That makes it 12 straight good games in a row from Vaughn.
Meanwhile, West Lauderdale might be getting used to good results now that the squad has eight wins in a row. They managed a somewhat close 28-22 victory over Vancleave. The West Lauderdale offense checked out after the first half but had enough points banked to take the matchup anyway.
Their wins bumped West Lauderdale to 11-1 and Florence to 5-7. Allowing an average of points per game, Florence haven't exactly asserted themselves on the defensive end. We'll see if they can patch up the holes in their defense before their upcoming contest.
