Just three weeks ago, the Colts defeated the Lancers 27-16 at Churchill Sports Park. In that matchup, Colts senior Justin Fisher shouldered his biggest workload of the season, taking 21 carries for 120 yards. The Colts defense was excellent in that matchup, holding the Lancers to 57 rushing yards, a season-low by over 100 yards. Class 5A regular season rushing leader Lukas Babbitt was held to 6 yards on 15 carries. In the sequel, the Colts will welcome the Lancers to The Barn. Thurston is undefeated at home this season, while Churchill is 4-2 on the road. Colts quarterback Emmit Distefano is looking to build off his most efficient performance, with a season-high yards per attempt and passer rating.The Colts have won this matchup the past three years by an average of 37 points. Head coach Justin Starck guided the Colts to their first nine-win regular season since 2019, when his team won the state title. Colts running back Justin Fisher went over 1,000 total yards last week, and needs 146 more rushing to surpass 1,000 in that category alone. The Lancers offense needs to get going, with only 23 points over its past two games. The Colts defense will make that difficult, as they go into Friday’s game with a streak of four straight games allowing 20 points or fewer.
