Patriots to Play University Academy Saturday

The Christ Prep Patriots travel to Center High School to play the University Academy Gryphons in a 2:00 p.m. contest Saturday.  University Academy is coming off a 48-31 loss last week to Hogan Prep. The Gryphons stand 2-2 on the season. Christ Prep will try to build on its 22-7 win last Friday at Central Heights as the Patriots seek to move to 3-1.

University Academy has come on strong during the last couple of seasons. Last year the Gryphons were 9-3 and made it to the second round of the Missouri Class 1 playoffs where the team lost to Tipton 49-7. The Gryphons and Patriots have not met at the varsity level for at least three years, although both teams' JV squads faced off last season. That game went to triple overtime where University Academy pulled out a stunning 13-7 win.

This season University Academy's two wins came against Northeast (45-0) and Washington (15-6). The Gryphons' other loss was at the hands of Center 35-7.

Saturday's game is a home game for University Academy, which plays its home games at Center High School. Center's field is located at 8715 Holmes Rd. in south Kansas City, Missouri.
