The Harding Presidents will venture away from home to take on the McMahon Senators at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither Harding nor McMahon posted many points in their last games, so it might be the defenses that decide this one.
It's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 42-6, which was the final score in Harding's tilt against Amity Regional on Saturday. While losing is never fun, the Presidents can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Connecticut football rankings (they are ranked 127th, while the Spartans are ranked 45th).
Despite the defeat, Harding had strong showings from Conell Mckinney, who rushed for 91 yards on only six carries, and O?Naveis O?Reagan, who gained 51 total yards and a touchdown. Mckinney was even better on defense, forcing a fumble and making eight total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, McMahon had to suffer through a 49-7 loss at the hands of Darien. The Senators have struggled against the Blue Wave recently, as their game on Friday was their eighth consecutive lost matchup.
This is the second loss in a row for Harding and nudges their season record down to 0-2. As for McMahon, their loss dropped their record down to an identical 0-2.
Things could have been worse for Harding, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 43-28 loss to McMahon in their previous meeting back in October of 2014. Thankfully for Harding, Tyre Holman (who rushed for 212 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
