Game Preview: Little Miami Panthers vs. Anderson Raptors
Location: Anderson High School
Previous Year’s Result: Anderson won 46-20
Anderson Raptors (2-0, 1-0 ECC)
The Anderson Raptors are off to a dominant start this season, posting back-to-back victories in convincing fashion. Their offense has been nearly unstoppable, scoring 103 points across two games. Quarterback Justice Burnam has been stellar, completing 85.7% of his passes for 571 yards and 8 touchdowns in just two games. Burnam’s connection with wide receiver Trace Jallick, who has racked up 309 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns, will be key for the Raptors.
Anderson’s rushing attack, led by Durrell Turner, has also been effective, averaging 11.3 yards per carry. Defensively, the Raptors are anchored by Reid Baker and Brady Kuhn, who have combined for 25 tackles and are a force at the line of scrimmage.
Little Miami Panthers (0-2, 0-1 ECC)
Little Miami has had a rough start to the season, dropping their first two games, including a 34-14 loss to Turpin. The Panthers have struggled offensively, managing only two touchdowns in two games. Quarterback Camden Fox has shown promise with a 61-yard touchdown pass, and wide receiver Mitchell Lyons is a bright spot, amassing 168 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Defensively, the Panthers have had standout performances from Eli Schoellman and Tanner Meadows, who have combined for 32 tackles. However, their defense will need to step up significantly to slow down Anderson’s high-powered offense.
Key Matchups:
Justice Burnam vs. Little Miami’s Defense: Burnam has been lights out for Anderson, and Little Miami’s secondary, led by Cody Neltner and Kameron Everett, will be under pressure to limit the Raptors' aerial attack.
Mitchell Lyons vs. Anderson's Defense: Lyons has been the focal point of Little Miami’s offense. Anderson’s defense, led by Reid Baker, will need to keep a close eye on him to prevent big plays.
Editor’s Pick:
Given Anderson’s offensive firepower and Little Miami’s early struggles, Anderson is the heavy favorite. The Raptors’ balance on offense and defense will likely prove too much for the Panthers to handle.
Prediction: Anderson 45, Little Miami 10
