After each having a week off, the South Stanly Rowdy Rebel Bulls and the Christ the King Crusaders will shake off the rust and duke it out on the 14th. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
South Stanly had to skate by with only a one-point margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 37-point drubbing they dealt Albemarle on Friday. The Rowdy Rebel Bulls blew past the Bulldogs, posting a 50-13 victory. The Rowdy Rebel Bulls have beaten the Bulldogs the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Bulldogs has come to flipping the script.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead South Stanly to victory, but perhaps none more so than Kaleb Richardson, who threw for 178 yards and three TDs while completing 80% of his passes, and also punched in one touchdown on the ground. The dominant performance also gave Richardson a new career-high in passer rating (157.8). Jasiah Holt was in the mix too, providing South Stanly with two scores.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Christ the King, who bounced back after a loss on the road two weeks ago. They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat Langtree Charter Academy 48-6. That 42 point margin sets a new team best for the Crusaders this season.
South Stanly better keep an eye on Brennen Wallace. He was instrumental in Christ the King's win, rushing for 170 yards and three TDs while picking up 8.9 yards per carry, and also picking up 39 receiving yards and one touchdown. Wallace also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack, making eight total tackles, and defending two passes.
Christ the King didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Langtree Charter Academy to a completion percentage of just 50%. The team can thank Wallace for the heroic effort on defense: he. Christ the King hasn't an opponent to post a completion percentage of 0.33 or higher in five consecutive contests.
Christ the King didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Caden Fritz and Brady Noonan.
South Stanly's record now sits at 8-2. As for Christ the King, their record is now 7-3.
