Grace (4-5) at Notus (9-0), 7 p.m.
On paper, this is a mismatch. Notus has blitzed through all nine of its opponents and hasn’t had a team stay within four touchdowns of it all season long.
However, Grace coach Steve Millward believes the Grizzlies match up well with the Pirates, which could be true because of how well Grace has played lately. The Grizzlies have won four straight against decent competition, while Notus has feasted on weaker opponents in the Third District.
Grace’s offense has taken off in the last four weeks, mostly because of the combination of quarterback Josh Jensen and receiver Chase Ackerman and the running of Trevor Simonson. All of them will have to step up against a Notus team that has held five opponents to one score or less this year.
Grace’s defense is also in for a stern test, since the only team to hold Notus under 40 points this year was Dietrich in a 36-6 loss. For the season, the Pirates are averaging 53.4 points a game.
