PREP FOOTBALL GAMES AT A GLANCE

Kennedy (3-3, 0-1) vs. El Dorado (3-3, 0-1)

7:30 TONIGHT VALENCIA HIGH

Both teams lost Empire League openers last week, and the loser in this game faces a long haul to make the playoffs. Since neither team has established much of a passing threat, running and stopping the run will be essential. Kennedy couldn’t stop the run last week in a 27-7 loss to Loara, and that is good news for Golden Hawk running back Nick Zehner, who has two 200-yard games and has scored 11 touchdowns. After averaging more than 100 yards in his first five games, Kennedy running back Kelvin Beatty had only 13 in the loss to Loara last week.
