Hillsborough Baptist is hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 41.13 points per game. They will take on Riverside Christian at 7 p.m. ET on Friday after a week off. Riverside Christian should still be riding high after a win, while the Lions will be looking to right the ship.
There's no need to mince words: Hillsborough Baptist lost to Hernando Christian Academy two weeks ago, and they lost bad. The score wound up at 58-7. The defeat was a vexing one since Hillsborough Baptist was expected to win based on their ranking.
Meanwhile, Riverside Christian simply couldn't be stopped last Friday, as they easily beat Peniel Baptist Academy 59-6. Hunter Johns went supernova for Riverside Christian as he rushed for 201 yards and four TDs on six carries. Johns has been a guy to keep an eye on this season; he's played big for the Wranglers in each of their last eight games.
Riverside Christian's defense was a presence as well, and it made life painful for the quarterback and Peniel Baptist Academy's offensive line for a total of 5.5 sacks. Leading the way was Nicholas Messina and his four sacks.
The Lions took a serious blow against the Wranglers when the two teams last met in September of last year, falling 60-0. Can the Lions avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
