Friday means gameday for the John Carroll high school football team.
Under the Lights and Homewood Star has you covered from the gridiron, as John Carroll travels to Briarwood on Friday.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Lions Pride Stadium.
Here's what you need to know:
John Carroll (2-5) at Briarwood (2-5)
- Date: Friday, Oct. 11
- Time: 7 p.m.
- Location: Lions Pride Stadium
Last week: John Carroll fell to Wenonah 30-15; Briarwood earned a 31-6 win over Corner.
What to watch: Briarwood has completely flipped its season on a head, going from five straight losses to start the season to notching consecutive wins over top 10 teams. The Lions have benefitted greatly from the return of star player Luke Reynolds, and are back home to play a local region foe. John Carroll competed well last week against Wenonah, but the Cavs have struggled to get anything going consistently so far.
Last meeting: Briarwood beat John Carroll 48-16 on Oct. 4, 2019. The Lions have won 10 straight meetings and have an 11-3 edge all time.
Next week: John Carroll hosts Corner, while Briarwood takes an open date.
