The Sacred Heart football team handled their business with Bennington in week six and now find themselves on a four-game winning streak for the first time since 2013.
It’s been smooth sailing for the Knights since week two, including three crucial wins in district play that should set them up for a winner-take-all district title match against Republic County in week eight.
Before that, however, the Knights will need to win another game that they will be heavily favored in when they host Herington on Friday night.
Like Bennington, the Railers' struggles have been colossal, dropping 17 straight dating back to 2023, including a week eight game to the Bulldogs last season.
The Railer defense is allowing 52 points per game on average, while their offense has put up just 12 points per game.
This should be another opportunity for playmakers like Maddox Wells, Noah Hines, and a recovering Dom Matteucci to stuff the stat sheet and give themselves a shot at a district title in one weeks time.
Tonight’s game will be streamed live on our Salina Post Sports Network with live video and broadcast commentary.
