Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps national rankings, Spalding Academy should expect quite the challenge on Friday. Playoff time is here, and they and Hay Springs are set to clash at 4:00 PM. Spalding Academy know how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past nine matchups -- so hopefully Hay Springs like a good challenge.
Don't be fooled by the insanely high score: we promise Spalding Academy and Eustis-Farnam were playing football. Spalding Academy took their matchup against Eustis-Farnam last week 70-60. Senior Colton Leslie, who rushed for 344 yards and 4 touchdowns on 21 carries, was a major factor in Spalding Academy's success. Senior Colton Leslie has made a name for himself in their last nine games, proving himself to be a reliable offensive weapon.
Meanwhile, seven stomps in nine total games is nothing to scoff at, and that exactly where Hay Springs stand after their most recent contest. They steamrollered Red Cloud 65-19. The victory was familiar territory for Hay Springs, who now have nine in a row.
The last time the two teams met, Spalding Academy were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap the last time the two teams met, as they fell 20-26 to Hay Springs. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
