The Salina Central football team is off to its best start since 2005, flying out of the gates to a 6-0 record with just two games to go in the regular season.
While the record is remarkable on its own, the way Central has reached these heights is just as impressive, righting the wrongs of three regular-season losses suffered a year ago in wins over Ark City, Eisenhower, and Andover Central.
Tonight, the Mustangs have an opportunity to wrap up their unfinished business tour if they can take down a stout Andover Trojan team on their home turf.
Andover may be 4-2, but those losses have been to two of the best teams in the state of Kansas, with one coming at the hands of the last undefeated 6A team in Maize, and the other coming at the hands of undefeated Kapaun Mt. Carmel.
The two share four opponents on this year’s schedule, with each team having taken care of Ark City, Eisenhower and Newton already.
To maintain their recent run of dominance, the Mustangs will have to find an answer for a bruising Trojan rushing attack that will be eager to extend drives and keep Central’s high-powered offense off the field.
The Mustangs are 3-4 in the Sandbo era against the Trojans, with Central winning two of the last three, but Andover taking the most recent meeting 21-14 last season.
Tonight’s game will be streamed live on our Salina Post Sports Network with live video and broadcast commentary.
