East Davidson Golden Eagles
The Golden Eagles have struggled to get going offensively, scoring just 7 points total across two games. RB Ben Stewart has been their top contributor with 21 rushing yards per game, but the offense will need more balance to compete against Bishop McGuinness’ high-powered attack. Defensively, East Davidson has allowed 68 points, so their focus will be on slowing down the passing game and finding a rhythm offensively to stay in contention.
