Both teams come into the game with impressive records. Somerset Academy is 10-2 and ranked 4th in the division and 38th in the state, while Centennial is 9-1 and ranked 1st in the division and 24th in the state.
The Lions have a high-powered offense, averaging 39.8 points per game. They are led by senior quarterback Brady Carlton, who has thrown for over 2,500 yards and 35 touchdowns this season. Carlton is also a threat on the ground, rushing for over 500 yards and 10 touchdowns.
The Bulldogs have a balanced offense, averaging 37.6 points per game. They are led by senior running back Landyn Collins, who has rushed for over 1,200 yards and 12 touchdowns this season. Centennial also has a solid passing attack, led by senior quarterback Gabe Johnson.
Both defenses are playing at a high level, with Somerset Academy allowing just 16.3 points per game and Centennial allowing just 15.7 points per game.
This is sure to be a close game between two evenly matched teams. Somerset Academy will need to find a way to slow down the Bulldogs’ running game and force turnovers. Centennial will need to protect the football and capitalize on their scoring opportunities.
Centennial won the previous matchup between the two teams this season, 28-21, on September 8th.

Both teams are evenly matched, but I am giving the edge to Centennial due to their previous win over Somerset Academy and their slightly higher ranking. I predict that the Bulldogs will win a close game, 35-31.
