Spalding Academy and Eustis-Farnam go head to head on Friday in their first playoff game of the year. Spalding Academy know how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with flashy point totals in its past eight matchups -- so hopefully Eustis-Farnam like a good challenge.
Eustis-Farnam took an ego-bruising loss against Wilcox-Hildreth three weeks ago, but they kept their chin up and bounced back last Thursday. Eustis-Farnam steamrollered Sumner-Eddyville-Miller 70-32. Senior Christian Timm, who rushed for 379 yards and 6 touchdowns, was a major factor in Eustis-Farnam's success. This marked the 8th matchup in which Timm has rushed for over 100 yards.
Meanwhile, Spalding Academy put the finishing touches on their 5th blowout victory of the season. They put a hurting on Elba to the tune of 95-14. That looming 81-point mark stands out as the most commanding margin for Spalding Academy yet.
Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 6-2. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
