The St. Anne-Pacelli Vikings will be staying on the road on Monday to face off against the Lithia Springs Lions at 6:00 p.m. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
St. Anne-Pacelli's defense heads into the game hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Wednesday. They were the clear victor by a 25-0 margin over Brookstone. Given the Vikings' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 13th, while the Cougars are ranked 120th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lithia Springs). They breezed by Mount Paran Christian to the tune of 40-0 on Wednesday. The win was familiar territory for the Lions who have now won six matches in a row.
Lithia Springs had a senior duo take command as Jasmine McDowell rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns and Ari Holton rushed for 66 yards and a touchdown. McDowell was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 66 yards.
St. Anne-Pacelli is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven contests, which provided a nice bump to their 9-3 record this season. Those victories were due in large part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 6.6 points per game. As for Lithia Springs, they pushed their record up to 7-3 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road.
St. Anne-Pacelli didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Lithia Springs in their previous meeting back in October of 2023, but they still walked away with a 12-6 win. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Lithia Springs' Nevaeh Shedrick, who rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown. Now that she won't be playing on Monday, will it be easier for St. Anne-Pacelli to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
