Football Game Preview: Maranatha Christian Academy vs. Lebo

Maranatha Christian Academy will look to defend their home turf on Friday against Lebo at 7:00 PM. Maranatha Christian Academy are expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the game prepared for a fight.

If Maranatha Christian Academy were riding high off their 62-16 takedown of Chase County two weeks ago, that ride came to an abrupt end. Maranatha Christian Academy came up short against Burlingame last Friday, falling 42-54. A silver lining for Maranatha Christian Academy was the play of junior Nate Burdette, who rushed for 148 yards and 3 touchdowns. Burdette has been a consistent playmaker for Maranatha Christian Academy as this was the 6th good game in a row from him.

Meanwhile, after having lost a blowout in their matchup two weeks ago against Madison/Hamilton, Lebo were happy to find some success last Friday. Lebo enjoyed a cozy 46-30 win over Chase County.

Lebo's victory lifted them to 4-2 while Maranatha Christian Academy's defeat dropped them down to 4-2. Given their high-scoring efforts against their previous opponents, it will be interesting to see how far up these teams can run up the score.
