Chambers/Wheeler Central/Ewing (5-2) and Clearwater/Orchard (6-1) are set to face off this Thursday at 7:00 PM. These are two of the top teams in the nation (Clearwater/Orchard is ranked 50th, Chambers/Wheeler Central/Ewing 125th), so it should shape up to be an exciting match.
Chambers/Wheeler Central/Ewing can now show off five landslide victories after its game last week. It put the hurt on Boyd County last week with a conclusive 59 - 8 victory. With three TDs, senior Daniel Libolt was a significant factor in the success. Libolt has also now scored at least one touchdown in the past three consecutive games.
Meanwhile, last game was the first rocky defensive outing for Clearwater/Orchard this year. It ended its game a good deal behind West Holt last week, falling 35 - 20. The defeat came about despite a quality game from junior Chris Kester, who threw for 161 yards and two touchdowns. This sound performance was nothing new for Kester, who has been a rock for Clearwater/Orchard in the past four games.
The last time they met, Chambers/Wheeler Central/Ewing was the 52 - 28 victor. It was able to move the ball a lot more (418 yards compared to 206 yards), a gap Clearwater/Orchard will be looking to close this time around. Can Chambers/Wheeler Central/Ewing repeat its success? We'll find out this Thursday.
