A pair of unbeaten teams square off this Friday evening as the Christ Prep Patriots take on the La Crosse Leopards at a neutral site—Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kans. The Patriots and Leopards are both 1-0 and are coming off impressive performances last weekend. CPA won its opener 54-33 against the Sunrise Christian Academy Buffaloes last Saturday night. The previous evening, La Crosse won 51-6 over the Larned Indians in a game where La Crosse's varsity was pulled by halftime.
La Crosse is coming off a 7-3 season which saw them win the Central Prairie Conference with a 2-0 record. According to MaxPreps, the Leopards were ranked 133rd among Kansas high school football programs. The team scored 301 points during the 2009 season while holding opponents to 232. The 2010 team returns last season's leading rusher Marcus Moeder, who averaged 152 yards per and 9.4 points per game. Quarterback Tayler Stull also returns. Stull threw for over 60 yards per game during the 2009 campaign.
La Crosse is located in Rush County in west-central Kansas. The Leopards will travel a little over 100 miles east to Lindsborg to play the Patriots at Bethany College's Philip Anderson Field. The stadium, home of Bethany's "Fighting Swedes," features an all-weather playing surface and seats approximately 2,500. It should prove to be an excellent venue for the CPA-La Crosse matchup.
