Friday's matchup might be decided on the ground. Scottsdale Christian Academy has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 195 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Camp Verde struggles in that department as they've been averaging 153.5 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's game turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Everything went Scottsdale Christian Academy's way against Camp Verde in their previous meeting back in August of 2023, as Scottsdale Christian Academy made off with a 54-34 victory. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Cowboys' Tyson Buckley, who threw for 287 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 55 yards and one score. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for the Eagles to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
