Friday Night Fever Week 8: High school football photos and videos
COLUMBIA - Friday Night Fever’s Week 8 Game of the Week features a dominant Helias (6-1) visited by a surging Rock Bridge team (3-4).
Helias has had a dominant offense all season and has consistently limited their opponents with a good defensive presence.
Rock Bridge has really come alive in the last three weeks winning every contest. Their offense has taken off, scoring 39, 41, and 48 in three consecutive games.
This looks to be an exciting match-up between two formidable opponents.
Be sure to tweet your game photos and updates to @komusports. This live blog will feature photos and videos from high school football games around mid-Missouri. Items are in reverse chronological order, with the newest on top.
