John Curtis Christian has the luxury of staying at home another week and will welcome Brother Martin at 7 p.m. ET on Friday. John Curtis Christian is the favorite here -- although they were the favorites in their last matchup, too, so the odds might count for a little less.
Last week, the Patriots faced Archbishop Rummel in a battle between two of the state's top teams. The Patriots had victory within their grasp but couldn't quite capture it as the squad lost 21-20 to Archbishop Rummel. The losing side was boosted by Collin Guggenheim, who rushed for 158 yards and one TD on 24 carries. Guggenheim has now scored at least one touchdown in the past nine games.
John Curtis Christian's defense was a presence as well, and it made life painful for the quarterback and got past Archbishop Rummel's offensive line for a total of five sacks. It was a group effort with five picking up one sack apiece.
Meanwhile, it was a tight contest that could have gone either way, but Brother Martin made off with a 29-28 victory over Holy Cross.
John Curtis Christian took their game against Brother Martin when the two teams last met in September of last year by a conclusive 45-16 score. Will the Patriots repeat their success, or do the Crusaders have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
