MATCHUP

No. 6 St. Frances Academy (Baltimore, Md.) vs. No. 7 IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.)

When: 10/18

Analysis: If you scroll back to the Aug. 24 section of this page, you’ll see St. Frances has not lost a game since November 2016.

That was to IMG Academy. St. Frances got shut out 38-0. Three years means a new generation of high school talent, but the taste might still be there for St. Frances. Star defenders including Chris Braswell, Jordan Toles and Luke Hill will have to make sure IMG can’t push the game out of hand again. These two historic powerhouses will tee off in one of the biggest events of the regular season.
