Lincoln-Way Central-Providence preview

About the Knights: Lincoln-Way Central captured a wild victory in Week 1 with its win over St. Charles East and goes into this nonconference matchup hopeful that offensive effort can be duplicated against the Celtics. However, the defense needs to put the clamps down a lot better if the Knights want to get back to the version of football that allowed them to reach the second round of the playoffs last season. That team banked on holding opponents more in check than simply trying to outscore them.

About the Celtics: Providence suffered a heartbreaking loss to Wheaton North in Week 1, where the Celtics surrendered the decisive touchdown on fourth down on the final play of the game. The Celtics need to quickly regroup in this one, because its CCL/ESCC Conference schedule is absolutely no joke. Providence appeared to establish a key cog in its running attack in the loss, however, as CJ Hill rushed for 100-plus yards and two touchdowns.

FND Pick: Providence
