Both combing over 1600 yards this season ( Jerrel with 1,197 and Hammond with 573) on the ground the season and are led by a very well-run offensive line.
North Shore doesn’t really need any introduction as they walk into this one favored and feature many talented players on both sides of the ball. They walk into this game being first in the district and are led by some very special players like quarterback Wyndell Mitchell jr. who has been very consistent this season on offense spreading the ball around to a wealth of talent.
