Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Hillwood should expect quite the challenge on Friday. Page and Hillwood go head to head at 7:00 PM in their first playoff contest of the year. Hillwood strut in flaunting some offensive muscle with an average of 31.3 points per game.
Things haven't been easy for Hillwood, and their matchup last week only extended their streak of losses to three. Hillwood didn't finish too far behind, but the squad still lost 28-34 to Beech. A silver lining for Hillwood was the play of senior Hale Page, who accumulated 260 passing yards and punched in 2 rushing TDs. If you haven't heard Page's name lately, then you haven't been paying much attention: he has loomed large in their past ten games.
Meanwhile, Page can now show off four landslide victories after their most recent match. They blew past Columbia Central 31-10. The win was familiar territory for Page, who now have six in a row.
Page's victory lifted them to 9-1 while Hillwood's defeat dropped them down to 3-7. Last Friday Page relied heavily on junior Cade Walker, who passed for 192 yards and 2 touchdowns. It will be up to Hillwood's defense to limit his damage.
