Whitefield has fallen in its last two games by a combined score of 101-7, granted those games were against elite Class A competition in Mount Paran and Fellowship—the latter has cracked the top-10 in the latest polls. Pinecrest enters the game having fallen to Fellowship by just two touchdowns. The Paladins’ tough schedule has seemingly cost them a chance at re-taking a region championship, but the next two weeks will determine whether or not they can sneak back into the playoff picture.
