Farmington Hosts Festus in District Seeding Matchup
(Farmington) Farmington and Festus have played three relatively low scoring games over the last three years. Farmington has won all three with an average score of 18-9. Both teams are 3-4. Farmington enters tonight’s matchup on the heels of back to back losses while Festus scored 55 last week in a win over Pacific. The Tigers use a two quarterback system with Essien Smith and Jeremiah Cunningham. Farmington coach Erik Kruppe says Ahrmad Branch and Landen Yates are a nice one two punch as wide receivers with 220 pound Hayden Bates packing a load as a running back…
We asked coach Kruppe if it’s harder to defend a balanced team like Festus or one that favors the pass or the run…
Two years ago Festus brought in an offense averaging 40 points per game, but lost 10-7 to the Knights. Tigers coach A.J. Ofodile gives credit to a sophisticated Farmington scheme…
Ofodile says his team is a little like Farmington’s this year in terms of experience…
The winner of this game will get the three seed in Class Four District One. The loser will get the four seed.
