La Salle Academy has enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will square off against The South Kingstown Rebels at noon on Saturday. The matchup should be an exciting one, as these teams are ranked near one another in Rhode Island (La Salle Academy is ranked fifth, while South Kingstown is ranked ninth).
La Salle Academy's 8-3 record from last season is now well into the rear view mirror after another tough outing. They took a 22-12 hit to the loss column at the hands of Bishop Hendricken on Friday. Having soared to a lofty 42 points in the game before, La Salle Academy couldn't push the score so high this time.
Meanwhile, after only seven points in their last match, South Kingstown made sure to put some points up on the board against Shea on Friday. South Kingstown blew past Shea 41-14 on the road. South Kingstown pushed the score to 35-14 by the end of the third, a deficit Shea had little chance of recovering from.
South Kingstown's win bumped their season record to 5-1 while La Salle Academy's loss dropped theirs to 2-5.
Everything came up roses for La Salle Academy against South Kingstown in their previous meeting back in October of 2022 as the team secured a 36-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for La Salle Academy since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
