The Asheville Christian Academy Lions will head out on the road to face off against the SouthLake Christian Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Looking back to last season, Asheville Christian Academy finished on the right side of .500 (3-2), and they're hoping to kick off an even more successful campaign this year. Similarly, SouthLake Christian Academy had a phenomenal run, finishing with a superb 8-4 record.
Asheville Christian Academy beat SouthLake Christian Academy 38-30 in their previous meeting back in September of 2022. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was SouthLake Christian Academy's Nathan Aguilar, who rushed for 63 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be that much easier for Asheville Christian Academy to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
