It's hard to believe this Friday marks the mid point of the high school football season in Missouri (week number five of the regular season).One of our key match ups this week on Heartland Football Friday features arch rivals Scott City and Chaffee. The Red Devils travel down the road to road to Scott City a place they have won only once in the past three trips.
Both teams have struggled to start the season and both sport identical 1-3 records. Chaffee knocked off St. Pius X 20-6 last week to end a three game skid to open the year. By no stretch of the imagination is Chaffee in a position they hoped to be, but they believe all is not lost.
"We are all on the same page," Said Chaffee Senior Cody Enderle. "We are all acting like brothers in the locker room and definitely on the practice field. We just carry that over every Friday night and for the past two weeks and that's what has really helped us a lot."Come Friday night the atmosphere in Scott City will be electric for the annual rivalry. Red Devils head coach Charlie Vickory it's more than just a fun night for the players.
"It should be fun for the town and the kids you know If you can't get up for that game you can't get up for any of them," said Vickory. "I think we have kind of renewed the rivalry a little bit (winning in 2008 & 2009). I have always said there is not much of a rivalry if one team wins all the time and that was the case for a while and I think it's a pretty good rivalry and they (Scott City) have a pretty good football team. They have played some tough opponents as well, so we are looking for to Friday night."
