What it is: States High School Football
Matchup: Western Dubuque vs. Lewis Central

Currently, the Western Dubuque stand at position number 24 of their bracket and at number 30 is the Lewis Central. The game will be important since a win could move any of the teams into the playoff positions on the standings.

The quarterback, Elijah Dean and the running back, Myles Hansford lead Bordentown’s dominance. This year alone, Dean has tossed more than 10 touchdowns for 1,000 yards and Hansford has gained a yardage of over 700 and five touchdowns by running.

The leader in the football team of Lakewood is the quarterback Josh Beardmore. This season, Beardmore has more than 1,500 passing yards and 15 touchdowns. He can be dangerous on the rush too, having scored more than half a thousand yards and five goals.

This season Western Dubuque has averaged only 18.6 points against its opponents. Despite having an effective offense that averages 19.2 points against the opponents’ defense, the Lewis Central’ own defense has not been as successful.

It is likely that this match will be close, as there is not much between the two teams. The veteran Western Dubuque may have an upper hand with some players having started on the postseason already. Nonetheless, the Lewis Central have the ability to be the more explosive team in an offensive sense.
