STATESVILLE CHRISTIAN (6-0) at CHRIST SCHOOL (4-1), 7 p.m.
Last week: Statesville Christian beat Asheville School, 61-21; Christ School beat Rabun Gap (Ga.), 40-21.
Last year: The two teams did not play.
Notes: When you lay out all the cards, it better be a good hand. Christ School and Drew Johnson (1,276 yards and 14 touchdowns with four interceptions) have not been secretive about their state-championship aspirations. Are the Greenies capable? Games like this are about as good a barometer as any. Christ School’s offense features a half-dozen receivers with a double-digit number of catches – Keyvaun Cobb (33 receptions for 348 yards and five touchdowns), Jared-Letman Gash (17 receptions for 252 yards and eight touchdowns), Kokayi Cobb (16 receptions for 155 yards), Gabe Blevins (13 receptions for 187 yards and one touchdown), Kevin Snyder (12 receptions for 95 yards) and Tyler Redmond (11 receptions for 162 yards and two touchdowns). Christ School relies on the tackling of Seth Griswold (8.2 per game), Carson Jones (7.0), Sage Holley (6.2) and Ross Oakley (4.8) on defense. Statesville Christian’s Canaan Cox (1,083 yards, 15 touchdowns) ran for 384 yards and six touchdowns a week ago against Asheville School.
