The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. This Friday Harding Academy (6-4) takes on Centerpoint (6-4) in the first playoff game of the year. Harding Academy has blown out its past three opponents, so Centerpoint has its work cut out for it.
Last week, Harding Academy took on Episcopal. Harding Academy's offense came in ready to rumble, picking up 42 points in the first half. That put it at a 42 - 0 advantage. The defense contributed as well, holding Episcopal to six points in the second half. In the end, Harding Academy steamrollered its way to an easy 42 - 6 victory.
Meanwhile, the final score between Centerpoint and Bismarck last week was a 42 - 6 blowout in Centerpoint's favor. At 36 points, that marked Centerpoint's largest margin of victory so far this year.
With both Harding Academy and Centerpoint swaggering in after impressive performances, we'll find out on Friday which team will step up to teach the other some humility.
