After each having a week off, the Northeast Raiders and the Central Chargers will shake off the rust and duke it out at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many points in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
Northeast is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Bleckley County just ended the team's five-game winning streak last Friday. They were just a hair shy of victory and fell 14-13 to the Royals.
The losing side was boosted by Tavares Tinsley Jr, who picked up 109 receiving yards and one TD.
