ASHEVILLE SCHOOL (3-2) vs. CAROLINA GLADIATORS (0-6), 7 p.m.
Last week: Asheville School lost to Rabun Gap (Ga.), 29-28; Carolina Gladiators lost to Franklin Christian, 40-0.
Last year: Asheville School beat Carolina Gladiators, 62-0.
Notes: Friday Night Lights aren’t for everyone. Thirty-one high schools in WNC play football, and Asheville School is the only one which does not have a lighted field. Memorial Stadium in downtown Asheville is the next best thing even though this is technically a home game for the Buncombe County-based Carolina Gladiators. Blues junior Ahmad Galimore (778 passing yards, 144 rushing yards and 13 combined touchdowns) has taken the helm of the Asheville School offense this autumn and run with it. Rashad Morrison (24 receptions for 368 yards and seven touchdowns) and Titus Morrison (12 receptions for 184 yards and one touchdown) have been Galimore’s safety valves. Fisher Howard (291 yards, three touchdowns) is another valued rushing option. J.P Schill (8.4 tackles per game), Chris Amoroso (8.2), Morrison (6.3) have shored up the defense.
