Chaminade-Madonna has enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will venture away from home to face off against the Western Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. One thing working in Chaminade-Madonna's favor is that they have posted at least 31 points in their last four matchups.
Chaminade-Madonna's upcoming match probably won't be as stressful as their last, when they took on another nationally ranked opponent: Norland, who was ranked 50th at the time (Chaminade-Madonna was ranked 30th). Chaminade-Madonna put the hurt on Norland with a sharp 45-20 win on Thursday. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Lions just coasted through the last quarter.
One reason for the win was Chaminade-Madonna's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for five sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Donta Simpson Jr and RJ Alphonse, who racked up all five sacks between them.
Meanwhile, Western had to endure a four-game losing streak dating back to last season, but that streak is no more. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past Taravella 2-0. Given the Wildcats' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 46th, while the Trojans are ranked 563rd), the result on Thursday wasn't entirely unexpected.
