On Friday night, the Holy Cross Cougars welcome the Sayre Spartans to Dixie Highway for what could be an exciting 1A battle.

Holy Cross sits at 4-1 and is coming off a bye week. They are on a two-game winning streak, having taken down Jeffersontown and Bullitt Central following their lone loss vs rival DeSales. The Cougars offense has revolved around the running game with QB Jerek Hoover being a dual-threat guy. 

Sayre is 4-1 and coming off a 26-0 win over Newport. QB Gage Pennington had 510 yards and six TDs through four games (no Newport stats yet) to lead the Spartans. Hampton Monday is his top target. 

This will be the first-ever meeting between these two programs.

This game will be streamed via GLICOD

 

This is a big game. This will 2nd toughest team on the schedule for Sayre. After this they will cruise until the last game against Middlesboro. All eyes are on this matchup.

HC is a tough place to play but I like the Spartans in a good one here.

Sayre wins by 4 scores minimum. Holy Cross will struggle the rest of the way without Pennabaker.
