Apollo heads to Muhlenberg County looking to build on the 43-0 win over Hancock County and get to .500 on the season. The Eagles have already shown they can play explosive football, but this game will be about consistency, protecting the football and playing better defensively.

Apollo big 56-14

Apollo struggled against Muhlenberg last season, but I truly believe the Eagles' linebacker play has taken a big step forward this year. Gunnar Hendrix has added quality depth to the defensive box, while Brayden Mattingly is having a big season at linebacker. If Apollo plays clean football, eliminates the silly penalties, and protects the football, I think the Eagles should win comfortably.

The biggest concern is Muhlenberg's run heavy offense. If Apollo struggles with assignment football and allows the Mustangs to sustain long drives, Muhlenberg could shorten the game and keep Max Johnson and Apollo's potent offense standing on the sideline. For Apollo, the formula is simple: play disciplined against the veer, win the turnover battle, and let the offense go to work.
