Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Belmont should expect quite the challenge on Friday. They will take on Charleston in the second round of the playoffs at 7:00 PM. The stakes are high as both teams are all in, each fighting to extend its postseason success.
Charleston brought an eight-game winning streak into their matchup against Independence last week; they left with a nine-game streak. Charleston put the hurt on Independence with a sharp 34-0 win. Charleston's success was spearheaded by the efforts of junior Jay Brown, who rushed for 96 yards and 1 touchdown on 12 carries, and senior Quynn Crawford, who rushed for 98 yards and 1 touchdown on 10 carries. That makes it eight straight good games in a row from Crawford.
Meanwhile, Belmont earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last Friday. They managed a somewhat close 20-14 victory over Choctaw County.
Charleston were fully in charge the last time the two teams met, breezing past Belmont 48-0. Charleston's victory shoved Belmont out of the playoffs, so expect the team to have a target on their back in this one.
